In my case the motor grossly outlasted the body, at 220k the car was super rusty so I swapped drivetrains with a rust free gas car I bought. Haven't finished the swap, if you're looking for a project jooseppi....

I guess you have not replaced the water pump on yours yet? The top bolt (there are 3 of them) on the water pump is not accessible unless the injection pump is out of the way on my 92 1.6 Jetta. I may be wrong but I think a 90 1.6 Jetta is the same. On the earlier MK1 1.6 VW's, the water pump can be removed w/o removing the injection pump. The difference is in the alternator/AC bracket design.
