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

[Don George]

Yo Tobin, you might want to give this place a look-AFAIK they don't have a
web site, but they sound like they've been around for a while and are really
hip to Vw, including diesels.  Call for a catalogue.  They have "new" TDIs
for $2500 complete with electronics.
