The vw diesels from the 80's were belt driven, had a rotary pump and used prechamber "inserts". MB didn't build their engines like that.
VW did inherit a MB designed gas engine from the Audi F103 back when VW bought Audi from Mercedes and then supposedly used some of its design when they were making their EA827 (their diesels were based on it) but Im not completely sure about that.
