Unfourtunantly(to me) this is true. The 1.9 I refered to is the canadian only version of the old 1.6 IDI motor. More displacement and a few odd and end revisions over the 1.6. It was never sold in the U.S. Heck of a lot more power than the 1.6, the non turbo 1.9 is about as strong as the 1.6 turbo, and the 1.9 turbo is even better(but not TDI level power). Father (over) paid about $2500 for it from Overland.
