I would like to know about the 1999 Golf.
I know about the year / model split in the latter half of 1999.
My question is:
Did the 1999 Golf TDI have the AHU or the ALH engine or did the 1999 came with only the ALH ?
TIA

Hey there -

The first half of 99 with the mk3's had AHU engines, while the second half with the mk4's had the ALH. Hope this helps! :)

There were no MK3 Golf TDIs in North America. And all MKIV TDIs started with the ALH engine. There was a rumor (perhaps true) that there were a handful of '98 New Beetles that had a wastegate turbo, but it was still an ALH block.
