[Vwdiesel] Which cars spec'd with 1.9L NA diesels?

[Justin Bagley]

I think only the turbo version of the 1.9L was sold in Canada.  It was
available in Golf and Jettas from 1993-1997 and in the Passat in 1993 and
1995 (I don't think there were any 1994 Passats made).  I have one of the
last Jettas produced with the 1.9L TD (built in August 1997).  It is a great
engine - I have had no problems with it.  My only complaint would be that it
is very noisy (at least in a Jetta) when compared to the TDIs.
