I cross referenced the MC's for a '91 Corrado G60, '95 Jetta GL, and an '87 Scirroco 16V, all w/o ABS, and the Corrado and Jetta MC's are the same, at least as replacement parts. The Scirroco is different, probably because it's an A1 based car (the outlets probably aren't in the same locations). Now, VW uses different manufacturers for brake system parts on the same models and years due to supply issues, so you may get different part numbers for the same piece, even though they're actually interchangeable. An interesting thing is that the MC's used on Jetta GLI 16V's, which came with 10.1" front brakes, as did the A3 4 cyl Jetta's, use different MC's. I don't know if the GLI's had 19mm or 22mm MC's, but my guess is they had the 19mm part. If the real question is will a Corrado or A3 Jetta MC fit on a 16V GTI/Jetta, the answer is yes. Either one will work fine. I have a Corrado MC on my '92 GTI 16V, and it bolted right up. --Holland [email protected] San Jose, CA
