Actually, there were two types of rear calipers used on A2's. They
changed to the "new style" calipers sometime in 1988, VIN dependent.
The primary
difference between the two is the parking brake mechanism. Both
types of calipers are cast steel. The aluminum A4 type rear calipers
are a bolt on,
but require the correct pads( Mintex MDB 1377 vs MDB 1382 for the
either of the original A2 calipers).

A1 (Scirocco 16v), A2, A3, and A4 Calipers are all about the same.
A1/A2 are identical, A3 have the bleeder in a different spot
(actually better, as it is located higher on the caliper), then of
course the A4 has the aluminum calipers and banjo bolts.. But
replacing the short line isn't that difficult. ;)
The Mk3s have the 22mm MC, as does the Mk2 rear disc cars, and the
Scirocco 16v.

The rear brake calipers on my 91 gli are steel, not aluminum, and the
piston has to be turned in. I believe all A2 rear calipers were the
same. The ones on my wife's A4 are aluminum and I have heard they
bolt
up to an A2, but the lines are the issue because they take a banjo
type
connection instead of a threaded type.
