 trans. I've been bitching for years to VW for not sending us any of the same
4
 wheel drive VW's available in Germany, like Golf's, Jetta's and Passat's.
I've
 told VW to send me a new Passat TDI with 4 wheel drive, or even the AWD
Golf's
 and Jetta's. I'm tired of waiting. So when my 5 cyl motor quits, I'm
 installing the 1.9 ltr TDI. With a 21.5 gallon tank in the Audi, I'll be able
 to go 1000 miles on a tank of gas, pretty cool huh.  Current Passat TDI
owners
 are getting 800 miles to a tank with a 18 gal. tank. Is there an adapter
plate
 available?  Thanks, Michael.
