Hi All
Have seen this on an unrestored car…does anybody have anymore details…? I assume the 022 refers to the 1.7L but what about the other number? Any insight would be appreciated…thanks Andy Attached thumbnail(s)

Strangely enough I have two distinct thoughts as I read this:
First, it’s so cool to see the deduction result in a solid theory on OEM coding. Second, f-Ing VW and Porsche. Neither of them cared enough about this car to enshrine these differences for posterity. But now Porsche is so enthusiastic about claiming this car as their own… |
