Was the 5-cylinder TD ever imported to this country after 1983? (I know it was available for a few years in the early 80's in some Audi's). If not, then how would one go about certifying it with EPA? I thought it was just about impossible to import an engine (even diesels) for automotive uses without some sort of certification. Am I wrong?
Cheers,
MJS
