Look at Martin's TDI pages:

There is a table of 1.9L TD engines. The most common is the first on with
55kw (75HP) engine code starting with AAZ, which you can find in Passats,
Jettas and some Golfs. The commentary says: "no extra hassle with electronic
gas pedal and electronic control unit", in reference to the TDI engine.
