I've got a VWofCanada reman A1, 1600TD in my 87 jetta (sawed off the front
mount) that I've put 100,000 trouble free km  on, (ready for its next
T-belt) found it in a rusting 82 jetta in a ditch. Bought the car for
$250CDN (about $1:25US), parted it, gave the remains to the local FD to play
with. This thing runs beautifully, better than the original.

It's not green, just dirty.
