My GTI is a 1.8 with an early-ish DX engine number is full of parts dated in the summer months of 1982 although it wasn't registered until Feb 1983.
So all X-regs (to July '82) should be 1.6, early Ys (from Aug '82) could be either and later Ys (from autumn/winter 82/83?) and A-regs will all be 1.8s

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
