On the official volkswagon website the mk4 is actually called a mk3 and so on, theres a mk3 II as well.

So there you go, we all actually have mk3 cars!

Not that interesting I know, but there you go

VW go on the base chassis design.

What we call the Mk3, Mk5 and Mk7 on this forum are essentially facelifted (sometimes heavily facelifted) versions of the previous model. Hence the 'Phase II' bit.

Doesn't really matter so long as you make it clear what you're ordering parts for!

As dubious as Wikipedia is, it breaks the models down quite well http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Polo
