Standard and early 8v engines had the manifolds on the back of the engine, for the usa market and later on over here they used a crossflow engine with the inlet manifold on the front of the engine, it is a better design to be honest, it is still only an 8v.

I have never seen one so can't tell from your pic but the 1.6 gl with 100bhp was definately 16v! They used the 1.6 16v engine in the very last of the mk3s before using it in the mk4!

Yup, still only a 8V & 1.6!....and i thought the 2.0 8V was lethargic.

[thai-wronghorse]

16valve for emission purposes rather than performance then.
