[Vwdiesel] Passat Synchro wagon "?"'s

[Tyson Cragg]

Mike, the Passat Syncro was a Canada-only model, sold in 1991 and 1992, and 
unfortunately, was not offered with a diesel. It was equipped with the 1.8L 
G-lader supercharged engine, the same one used in the 1990-92 Corrado.  I 
have seen some Passat Syncro diesel conversions out there, however.  When I 
was getting my Passat TDI oil sprayed last year in Kitchener, ON, there was 
a guy with a 1991 white Syncro wagon that he had converted to a 1.9L AAZ TD 
engine.  He daid the conversion was quite easy, since the Passat was offered 
at that time with the 1.9 in the FWD models.

Might be worth taking a look at anyway!

Happy Boxing Day!

--Tyson.
