if its a later one then will be the 2.0 8v engine (gti basically)
if its early then the 1.8.
easiest way to tell is it 4 or 5 stud.

also if it looks like this front end
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-CABRIOLET-MK3-MK3-5-MK4-LEATHER-BBS-WHEELS-COLOUR-CONCEPT-VW-/330677197437?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4cfde59a7d
then worth more as its a mk3/4 or 3.5 front.
