Dear not current TDI
I am unsure if exactly what version of the engines went in at the shop I
was at i California - all I know is they were new crate engines with EDC
fly by wire technology - very much different than my 89 California model 5
speed 1.9 turbo which was basically a 83 rabbit engine with turbo and 5
speed
Regards
