There is only one engine code for the Mk3 16v: ABF.

pretty sure some came with the 2l 16v 9a engine, could be wrong though

Your not, later cars were available with the 2.0 16v :smiley:

ABF is still the better choice however

Nice one, it was a corrado one I just assumed there were a few and fitted to all models. Is it easy enough to do the hydrolic clutch conversion? I'm assuming(again!) that the shell is the same across the board and that the new stuff for the clutch should just bolt in place?

I think you'll need the pedal box from the 16v.

What year is your car, later cars had the same pedal box so are easier to convert.
