I was going to recommend this book too. : ) I used to own a VW Fox, and it's 
an odd ball all by itself. According to Simon's book, it was a Gol first with 
an air cooled t-1 based motor, then they put in a watercooled engine, then VW 
decided to sell them in the US for 4 years (88 to 92). When sold in the US, 
they changed the name and badging. They were an entry level VW at the time, 
selling for around 9 grand new. I liked the car, but it was harder to get parts 
for than a type 3. :o It only shared a few parts with the golf/jetta, and 
nothing with an audi. I alway had thought of putting a t-1 engine in it, if the 
water pumper died, but I sold it and put the money into my Roadster 2 project. : )
