If they are the front calipers, then yes.

If they are the rear calipers, you will also require stub axles, 16v rocco handbrake cables, etc, etc

they won't fit. you will need different carriers to make them fit, not sure if the calipers will swop straight on to your carriers but the mk2 goof caliper/carriers will defo not bolt straight on your Rocc.

I will have a set of 236 scirocco calipers, probably need a good clean for £15 on top of postage.
