Diesel questions

[MWoodland at Dentsply.com]

Folks,
I've been through all of the archives looking for diesel stuff, and have a
few questions.
1. Could any listers in Canada verify that there are Audi (or VW) 2.5 Turbo
Diesel (TDI) engines (stick)  in Canada.
2. If so, what cars would they be found in?
3. Otherwise, is there anyone on or around the East Coast that has (or
knows of) an early -mid  '80s Audi TD engine (stick) for sale?
4. Have the early '80s problems of head cracking and short lifespan for
cylinder bores been addressed in later, mid-80s turbo diesels?
5. Do any other VAG 4-cyl (or straight 6) diesels share a bell housing bolt
pattern with the I-5 gas engine?

I want to swap a diesel into an '86 TQA to run as a test bed for some sick
modifications to the diesel process. (that have nothing to do with alt-fuel
conversions)
Anyhow, I've always wanted a TDQA (TQAD?), and wonder why even VW doesn't
address that with a AWD TDI / stick/ wagon.
Its not like they don't have all the parts in their bins..
