I believe the Westmorland 1.5 Diesel was made in Germany, the
Westmorland 1.6 Diesel actually made in Mexico.  I say this because I
use to sell factory crated turnkey 1.6 Diesels out of my walk-in store
in the 80s and VW stickers stated Hecho In Mexico.  I had one of these
installed in an 81 Rabbit Diesel Truck (Caddy) I owned at the time.
Real sweet engine :)
