s-reg passat tdi will be a B5 model and will also be front wheel drive(not rear)the engines in passats came in 90bhp and 110bhp(i believe that most mk1 galaxy's are 90bhp)and are indeed the same AFN code engines but for a bit of fun try to get a 110 bhp...the manifolds might be different but as far as i can see the engines are the same..

 

good luck and i hope this helps :)
