Could be 215mm.. But..
Most common is 228mm, my 1983, very early caravelle DG was 228mm and I know it was original engine etc.. I think only the DF/DY (low power) 1.9's had the 215mm as did the CT Aircooled 1600..
But you wont know until its out.... :(

I took me engine number down to me nice local vw dealer and asked them to match the size to the engine number which was 228mm for a 1983 dg
