The introduction of the modified engine has not taken place at the same time on all vehicles (manufacturers). The engine types listed below are given as a general guide line and you will have to make sure which engine is fitted to your vehicle:
- Engine 169 B (XM7-): To end of 1986
- Engine 170 B (XN1-T): To end of 1986
- Engine 169 B (XM7-T): To April 1989
