Diesel questions

[Mark J. Besso]

Yassir, you are correct.

The Volvo used a six-cylinder version of the engine in the diesel 100/5000. 
It still had the VW/Audi emblems cast into the block and head.  I understand 
it was the same engine used in the Volkswagen's LT trucks in Europe.

Didn't the volvo 740 come with a VW/audi diesel engine?

Completley unresearched knowledge.

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..
