Find an 1.9 TD AAZ from a Mk3 (1993  (?)  - 1999 )

The diesel heads call it a "one wire" diesel. This wire connects to
"stop solenoid" that allows fuel to flow, or not.

IF the GTi swap is using all DV parts, a diesel should bolt right up.
You *may* need to adapt coolant hoses and a few wires. If you're
lucky, the existing exhaust can be used w/o too much, if any,
alterations.

There's a diesel Vanagon list on yahoo.
