Yes, the re-use of M249 has come up before, and I think its earlier use has 
been confirmed from several sources. Still, my microfilm shows M240 as the 
low compression mod for all years, so it seems that even VW was confused 
at some time.

Interesting! Has anyone ever seen one of these plates? If so, please take a 
GOOD look at it and tell us whether it is M240 or M249, as well as the 
chassis and engine number it came with.
