        These were not rebuild but  brand new engines.  They were available
up until late last year.  I  received 4 or 5 here through my Ottawa dealer.  I
still have one in  stock.  It's up for sale to the highest bidder.  My man at
VW tells me  there will be no more.

>>>>ETKA shows VW # 025 100 031 EX, but this was  discontinued in the North
American Market in October 2003 according to my  contact at VOA.  This
doesn't mean that there might be one floating  around in a dark, musty corner
of a dealership out there somewhere, but  considering it's almost 5 years
after the  fact......<<<<<
