I was talking with a friend of mine who was telling me that the pistons in my 1.7 are the same as the pistons in a type IV VW. Is this so?

Not sure, but there compression differences in some of them. The European pistons are flat topped, or have a smaller dish than the US spec ones, which have a bigger concave dish.
