My ETKA shows 068 107 065 BC for the CY as one would expect ???

CY as in the engine I have in my mk1 GTD

What a mess...Just checking... OK so you have a GTD that dated as to 82/83 ish? Non intercooled? Golfs did use the CY TD  then, and you are correct, used the BC piston :o Then by late 1984  Golfs had the JR. 

The CY was unusual in that it survived becoming hydraulic. 1981 to 1986 in the 'mk2 Passat [Quantum] was also 'BC' . It was on turning hyfdraulic, that the piston in CY  became same as RA/SB.

I'll amend  the list thanks. What edition of KATE do you have? I have version 7 and 5.5.  I'd love an earlier  version

It's so full of blanks of the interesting stuff at crossover between mk1 and mk2.

Does anyone have an early Euro 'KATE' [ver 1 , 2  or 3?] out there who could send me a copy?
