Good Question,
   I am no expert on this but ...   A freind of mine, a real volkswagen
nut, fell in love with my v8 - a while back I had the heads off to do some
re-gasketing and so-forth, he got to looking at the heads and said to me,
wow, those look exactly like the heads off of a 1.8 vw 16v.  He just so
happed to have one and we could not tell a difference in them - I'm almost
sure that the cams are different but maby only on one side or, maby you
have to reverse one side to get the shaft to stick out the correct end - I
don't know.  Anyway, the casting seemed to be the same and I can't
remember but may have had the same part number - I know that the heads on
the audi are the same from left to right, they have the same part numbers
but just have different parts bolted on to them.

                      Maby this helps or confuses,
                                              Jason
