There are two ways.
All Volkswagen four-cylinder engines have the same bolt locations, flywheel diameter and so on, so theoretically the process is to remove the gasoline engine and put the diesel in its place. You'd also have to change all the engine control electronics, the exhaust system, and anything else that differed between gas and diesel engine cars.
The more advisable way would be to trade your car in on a diesel Beetle.
It is a gas, my girlfriend just bought one :) I have a 1998 vw beetle with a 1.9 tdi engine. tdi means turbo direct inject. it is a diesel engine and it gets 48 to 50 mpg! I love it!
There are 8 bolts on a manual transmission '97 Chevy with a 6.5 diesel engine.
If I remember correctly the 1.9 is the diesel engine. I'm not up to date on the specs for the diesel engines. Check your owners manual or call your local VW dealer. It is probably something like a 505.1 spec oil, but I don't know.

It takes a recommended diesel engine oil. Ask your dealer or car parts store.
Try eBay.
No. Volkswagen made two prototypes only in 1951 with a 1.3 L diesel engine. One in a type 1 and the other in a type 2.
Amazon.com sell diesel engine manuals online. You should also look at half.com for these manual as well.
A short block. A long block is a complete engine ready to install.
Yes. Chevy actually came out with a diesel s-10 pickup. They are rare but you can do it.

For a diesel engine 90,000 miles is not really much. Diesels should be able to go well over 250,000 miles.
