thanks for trying to help earlier, guys, but somebody's gotta be wrong (not sure who). anyone have engine size spec on an ED prefix engine block number they -know- is correct?:
these sites tell an ED prefix vee-dub engine is an 1800cc:
so, if we "equally weigh" the votes, we have three web pages saying it's an 1800cc (two at same site, though), and we have the VW FAQ's saying it's a 2 litre, along with that (pretty well respected) BOOK. so we're 'fifty-fifty' on the votes, more or less. short of dismantling the engine and measuring the bore&stroke, is there any -other- way to find out who's info =is= correct? maybe some small obscure 'changed feature' on the case, externally, that indicates it's a 2.0 as opposed to a 1800cc?
...grasping at straws here...
thanks again,
"Mr E" engine guy
