The gearbox code stamped on the casing is the definitive reference. The Scirocco 1, Scirocco 2 and Corrado G60 or VR6 do not use the same transmissions. A generic “Golf 2 gearbox” part number is not enough for a Corrado G60.

Yes, for the engine, gearbox and front suspension; the part numbers are largely shared. For anything to do with bodywork, headlights, headliner and trim, no. The Scirocco 1 and Golf 1 share the same base, not the same silhouette.

The G-Lader supercharger and its wear parts are specific to the G60. Close Classic stocks them precisely because they are disappearing from general catalogues.

The 8V (GTI) is simpler to maintain; parts are more common and cheaper. The 16V is more highly strung (more fragile cylinder head, more demanding timing) but offers a better driving experience and remains rarer, so more sought after by collectors. The choice depends on use: reliability and maintenance budget for the 8V. Character and rarity for the 16V.

The VR6 is often recommended for regular road use. The G60 is for enthusiasts prepared to take on its specific maintenance. The VR6 wins people over with its distinctive sound and its prestige (a more modern engine, more torque, maintenance generally less demanding than the G60). The G60 is all about the thrill of forced induction, but requires rigorous monitoring of the supercharger.
