******************************************

All "JN" Series 1.8 Inline 4 cylinder engines were installed on the VW Fox
from March 1987 thru September 1990.

Most OE VW parts film product surveys go to great detail listing engine
serial numbers and their production date.  Unfortunately, this is not so
with the Fox parts film, where information of this sort is woefully
inadequate.  Other than looking in the individual parts areas of the film,
where they do show engine number splits for certain items, there is nothing
to indicate at what time of the model year a certain engine number was used
