Subject:Passat 2.0L engine questions (donor car for 15 degree Vanagon conversion)

Hi all.

Still on my 15 degree conversion quest.

A possible donor car:

http://vancouver.craigslist.org/car/447287064.html

Does the Passat 16V 2.0 DOHC have NON interference valves?

It seems this engine prefers premium fuel.

Any users run this engine on regular? Could it be tuned (timed?) to
run properly on regular?

AFAIK this engine has 134 HP. That'd be sweet!

Thanks for any help!

Neil.
