Dont consider the 924 engine

I agree with Britwrench. The 924 motor is known for reliability but there are many VW engines that are reliable. The 924 is only 100 HP and any more power from this engine is expensive. The only reason anyone ever put a Porsche in a VW was for more power. You wont get that from this engine. It would also be a PITA to fit a different engine and the 924 motor wouldn't be worth it.

What are you looking for in the new engine? Power, ease of replacement, reliability. I am not familiar with the Jetta but there are better choices for any of these VW needs.
