Second‑Generation Launch in 1981

Golf I Platform Under the Hood
Unlike the first generation, the Mk2 Scirocco was based on the engineering platform of the Golf I, sharing many components and design cues with Volkswagen’s popular compact hatchback.
Hard‑to‑Find Mk2 Parts Today
Owners of the Mk2 often report difficulty sourcing Scirocco‑specific components such as the fuel filler neck, body panels, glass, and interior/exterior trim, as these parts were unique to the model and are no longer widely produced.
