good luck.
the price is right.
I just pulled two jetta engines in pick n' pull yards..
where you schlep your tools out to the cars in yard..
it's blazing hot sun and too glary to see much ..
working on rough rocks..
everything is ripped apart and damaged a lot.

the first engine ..sure, only $ 200 .
but 5 days at two hours per day  days to get it out of the jetta, and auto
trans off.
Just nasty hard work.

most likely is that your new find is a 1.6TD ..
aaz would be possible.
I am also finding that aaz's are now going on 15 yrs old..
and the ones I've seeing ...are very tired actually.

and even if it's a 1.6 TD .there are good parts on it, like the turbo parts.
have fun !
