Subject:VW of Canada Reman Plant Sold to Cummins? When?

Hi all.

Am looking at a Westy with a "factory remanufactured engine" (2.1
WBX). It may be a VW of Canada reman. Engine has about 34,000 KM's.

It seems VW have sold that aspect of their business to Cummins:

Does anyone have an approximate time line of when this happened?

It was interesting to get some insight via the archives. Here's a post
from the esteemed Bob Donalds (may he RIP):

In my mind I wouldn't assume that Cummins did the job right on the WBX
(maybe the diesels?) but maybe they stood a much better chance?

Thanks

Neil.
