My completely normal (well, originally) engine code 3B 217hp (originally)
1991 200q20v has an aux water pump, quattro rear window script, and uses
F5DPOR plugs, and also has no cell phone. The belt from a 160hp MC2 probably
won't fit it. Where exactly is your extra oil pump? What fuse, relays,
wiring does it use? Why isn't this in the official factory service manual?

Who told you this special edition "information"? Has any of the "special"
equipment on your car ever required maintenance? What happens when you ask
the auto parts guy for the "special" spark plugs that don't fit the the
"regular" 1991 200 quattro? Do you get funny looks? Have you ever compared
the underhood components of your car to another 1991 200 quattro?
