As far as I know, the VW inline blocks, including the diesel, remained
the same casting until the Gen IV Jetta, around '95(?)....I am no Inline VW
expert...I read up and learned all I needed to know to do my own
motor...only...
The VW Vortex forum was one of my main sources of information as I tried
to 'pre-learn' everything I needed to know before I removed my 1.8 liter
motor from service and replaced it with the combined $300 Jetta stuff.
The info is out there. It is just not in a 'convenient' form but it is
available...I found the guys from Techtonics Tuning, a well respected and
long time inline VW parts house and tuner....they were invaluable in
supplying the proper parts without me knowing exactly what I needed...
The only difficult parts of the motor project were probably getting all
the proper pulleys in place to run with no power anything...The ABA block
was 'accessorized" with power steering, and AC...I prefer non of that and
didn't have it on the old motor...The second half way hard thing was
swapping the distributor drive gear (without messing up anything)
Techtonics Tuning had that covered,
