[Vwpickups] 93 Passat with 1.9td - is this a good donor for Caddy?

[Eric S]

This is the famous Canadian AAZ code 1.9td that we 'mericans never
got...$500?  Are you joking?  GET IT.  Your engine mounts go right on it,
this is as close to a "drop in" upgrade as you can get. (besides exhaust
as you mentioned).  As for the trans...not sure what transmission model
those Passats used, but its possible that it could work.
