take someone with you that knows what the gti engine looks like. your tappets will be ok providing they are not excessively worn.

just the cam, an 8v engine has a slim rocker cover and only on camshaft, the 16v one have a 16v casting on the inlet manifold thing, if its a gti and doesnt say 16v under the bonnet then is an 8v and its what you need!

well a 16valve engine is much bigger than the 8valve just try to image the space needed for 2 cam shafts and then the space for one...

it doesnt matter what year of car, and the rocker cover will be very similar to yours
