    I know the European 2.0 8v engine codes were

    2E
    ADY
    AGG

    and the US one was the ABA

    The US 2.0 was a crossflow head unlike the European 2.0. The Europeans weren't crossflow until the New Beetle and Mk4 Golf. Also i believe the US engine made a little less power than the European one, maybe 5bhp less but i have seen different quotes for the BHP of the US engine so that maybe irrelavant. Not sure if there is anything else. [:s]
