Default Did the Toyota Landcruiser ever use a VW diesel engine?

Hi guys,

Check this out. It's the German version of Wikipedia but this is pretty clear:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_Alfa_6


Das Motorenangebot wurde um drei Maschinen erweitert: ein 2,5-Liter-V6-Einspritzer mit Bosch-L-Jetronic, ein 2,5-Liter-Turbodiesel mit fünf Zylindern von VM Motori in Cento, der später auch im Toyota Land Cruiser und Range Rover verwendet wurde und eine 2-Liter-Vergaserversion des V6.


According to this, the early to mid 1980s Toyota Landcruiser used a Volkswagen turbodiesel engine (also used in the Range Rover of that time). Any truth to this?
