Ben,

my scirocco used to be a auto an 82 also. I never saw the E on mine, but
then again I did not have a diesel.....Wow that is a strange combo... I
thought all those A1 diesels to be stick.

With dealing with the auto trannies from the sciroccos it was my
understanding there there was some dodge lineage in there somewhere
This may not be of much help, but at least is conversational.
