Don't know about the valve springs, can I suggest a Haynes manual, that would probably say.
Certainly in this country, the Polo Gti was a 16v 1.6 producing 125hp, and they're extortionate because they were only produced for one quite short
mark (3 years IIRC), there's not exactly millions of them around, and they're still newish. I suspect there's probably not many write offs at all,
because for the most part they're driven by 30 something middle class women, and any that are would probably have their engines bought by people like
me who quite fancy shoving an extra 25 hp into their cars.
