Golf 2 Shipments to Australia

I just checked for this but Bentley gives no listing for a PB engine or for any 112hp engine.
The Bentley reference table I'm looking at is on Pg6 of the Engine section.

The only 112 hp engines I know of were in Mk1s. The last of them (the 1800) was a DX engine. The very early Mk2s produced in 1985 did come with mechanical valve gear like the Mk1. Is it possible PB engines were a small batch of surplus Mk1 engines supplied to a specific market just to clear them? Its strange Bentley doesn't list it.

The 112hp engines were K-Jet not Digifant and ran throughout most years.

According to ETKA

PB 82KW Digifant
PF 79KW Digifant
RV 77KW Digifant

I will see if I can do a dump of all the engine prefixes and ratings possibly with VIN

PB is the engine that the UK got in it's GTIs. From about 86 through til the end. 112BHP same as the mk1 DX and the MK2 kjet EV.

Syncro when people (poms) that have owned this engine post about it you're going out on a limb to disagree mate.

I thought that the EV engine was used up until 1987

my old EV engine was made in 1987 (it was a cracker) & came from a car that was wrecked in Germany
So did they have more than one prefix code going at once eg differnt countries= different prefix

[moto]

So did EV/PB use hydraulic valve gear or were they a direct carry over from the mark 1 (ie manual adjustment)?

[evorobin]

Digi injection started in 88

How many poms have had a Digifant GTI?

Sounds like some of the poms are a bit like the seppos. If it didn't happen in the UK, it didn't happen!

How many poms have had a Digifant GTI?

Millions

[syncro]

Millions

So they had slugs too?
Most of the ones that I've seen were K-Jets.
