For the US markets: A-1 Rabbit 75-84, Cabriolet 79-93, All Sciroccos A-2 Jetta/Golf 85-92 A-3 Jetta/Golf 93-99, Cabrio 95-02 A-4 Jetta/Golf 99.5-02 Incidentally, I have found that the rear pads for All A-3 and later VWs look to be the same ( I haven't matched up the EV ones yet). I rarely get to see core calipers (besides A-4).
