Not sure, but if you consider that golf sales totalled 24 million worldwide
for the 31 years 74 to Nov 05, it's a big number. The Mk1 Focus(the one that
the Zetec comes from) is the only car that ever stole the(yearly) world's
best selling car position away from the Golf in 2001, which shocked
everybody and is subsequently when VW stole the engineers from ford they
needed to design the VW "version" of the Mk1 Ford focus suspension for the
MK5 golf. The highest numbers totals are corolla in pole position with 35
million, then Ford F-series pickups 25 million, then golf 24 million, beetle
20 million, and back to Ford with the model T(which I think is the most
impressive number) at 16.5 million.. 16.5 million model T's!! Talk about
zero to 100 mph. Hey there's another conversion... Put a crankstart 2.9L
sidevalve model T engine into a vanagon ha... 20 HP.. But in the model T it
still got 30 mpg.

Any idea as to how many inline 4 cly. VW engines were made of the exact
same bolt in block 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 2.0  block?   (from 1974 to 1999)
