[Vwdiesel] Green Striped Engine

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

So, if you had the complete code I suppose that one could get with VW
and find the manufacturing information to mate engine with S.N.?

  Not sure if the serials match.  Next time I'm at the Rabbit I'll check 
since it's original.  When I got the 5 speed for it though, I asked the 
parts guy how I could tell which early 5 speed it was.  (there was a 
really early one with a little lower 4th and 5th gears.)  I gave him 
the numbers off of it and he told me the year and month of build!  :)

  I suppose a reman would have to have oversize pistons in it.  Tempting 
to get one of these.  :)
