[Vwdiesel] Re: [Audi-VW-Diesels] Better motor?

[maded]

Jim, you might scour the boneyards in Canada.  I think Malahat motors on
Vancouver Island had a 1.9, don't remember if it was a TD or NA.  They have
a website.  Where does one go to scour or U-pick now that Bry's Auto
Wrecking is gone?  The 1.9 was not an option in the USA. (until Tdi).
