porsche have made engines for seat in the past although they don't own them. a bit like rover using honda for the petrol engines, and vauxhall followed by peugeot for the diesel engines, in their 200 and 400 range in the early late 80s early 90s

heh

they shared diesels a lot later than that (peugeot/rover) as the 100 model shared the tud3/5 series with the 106/saxo.....

didn't know that, most books just say it was a foundary, but being right on the river it makes sense.
