if i remember correctly, they had LSD when we had high sulfur diesel. It wasnt until 1989 when europe changed to unleaded gas and LSD. So no i dont think 123/126 diesels had ULSD at the time only LSD, which is what we mostly have in the US. Dont know when they switched to ULSD though.

Southern california was required that all pumps have ULSD in 2000 or 2001, but it wasnt until just recently that northern california was switched to ULSD. From my reading on the TDIclub an article stated that all of california's pumps would require ULSD by the end of july.
