VW rebuilds are available again. They are rebuilt in Germany. I
installed one a few weeks ago. Worked flawlessly except it took a while
for the oil pump to prime. It had a brand new case, rebuilt heads.
Quiet, smooth, no leaks.

I got my  1.9L through VW, remanufactured in Canada--this was back in
'96 i  guess.  No regrets.  I ordered it through Jim Ellis VW  in
Chamblee GA and had my own, trusted, independent mechanic do  the
installation.  That was at 141,000 miles and it's still going  strong
at 218,000 miles now.

There are no more VW Canada rebuilt  waterboxers.  VW stopped this about
a
year or so ago.
