Yes, it will have the same engine as your 93 1.9TD golf and get similar fuel economy. 49 is excellent for a 1.9TD, by the way.

in all actuallity it is not that good, i carpool with a guy who runs a 86 4.6 turbo deisel ait gets 58 constantly, also family members of mine have 2000 jetta tdi and a 2002 jetta tdi they get 1050 kms per tank steady, if you drive a constant speed and keep these motors tuned properly they are capable of lots

My driving style does not lend itself to good fuel economy, thats why I drive a diesel. I can flog it mercilessly and it still gets low 40's. If I drove a V8 pickup it would be getting 5mpg...
If driven sensibly (rarely happens
), mine will still deliver near 50mpg (cdn gallons) cruising at 120km/h on the highway.

that much fun would have been expensive in a gasser.
