In the power supply system: C=carb, K=K-Jetronic, L=L-Jetronic, M=Motronic, d=diesel, t=turbo, s=intercooler, vi=Variable incidence.
In the construct: SOHC=1 Cam (2 valve/cyl.), DOHC=2 camshafts (4 valves/cyl.); L=inline, V=V-shaped; v=VANOS (variable valve timing).
To convert from ft/lb to Nm multiply by 1.36 (100 ft/lb = 136 Nm).
To convert from HP to KW multiply by 0.734 (100 HP = 73.35 KW).
