I think the diesel models came out on the Rabbits during the 80's, the turbo diesel, but I am not so certain.

I don't think that the rabbit ever got the turbo.The early Jette,Golf, and Passat got them though. Oh, and yes propane can be used as a power adder. But I don't think the 1.6 diesel is worth the time.
