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.

I did a trawl and found out from a Corrado club in Canadahttp://www.corrado-club.ca/tech/vwecucodes.htm

The PB was a

Most of the ones that I've seen were K-Jets.

Well if you moved from the UK at the start of 1988 that would explain it...

I've got an EV under the bench and it has hyd lifters and went like mad and was k-jet originaly, now ....... it's in bits..

i'm running the pl 16v in the golf now and i believe it also was orig k-jet, and it flies, just lacks a little hp up high.
detuned kr i hear with the only diff being the inlet cam.
