Engine Identification  

Up to 5 typical model features are used for identification.  

Petrol engine (example)		Diesel engine (example)
X	Exhaust emission limits	X	Exhaust emission limits
16	Engine size	17	Engine size
X	Compression ratio	D	Carburetion system
E	Carburetion system	T	Specific version
L	Specific version

Exhaust emissions limit			Carburetion system
none	:	ECE R 83 A (as R 15.04)	E	:	Injection
C 1)	:	EC 91/441/EEC	Z	:	Central injection
X 1)	:	94/12/EC	V	:	Carburettor
			D	:	Diesel

1)  If the letters C or X are crossed out, then only exhaust emissions standard ECE R 83 A is met.  

5.13   Engine Identification (continued)  

Engine size			Specific version (as required)
Displacement in litres x 0.1			H	:	High output / turbocharging
			J	:	Throttled output
			L	:	Low output / turbocharging
			R	:	Increased output
			V	:	Volume model
			2	:	Family II engine
Compression ratio ε
G	: ε ≤ 8.5 : 1
L	: ε > 8.5 - 9.0 : 1
N	: ε > 9.0 - 9.5 : 1
S	: ε > 9.5 - 10.0 : 1
X	: ε > 10.0 - 11.5 : 1
Y	: ε > 11.5 : 1

Note:  

*	Engines that are not used in the European market are marked with an *. The performance and fuel consumption values are not complete, as these values are calculated using specific national methods.
* *	Performance and fuel consumption values which were not available at the copy date are marked with * *.
