Audi used to have an annoying habit of referring to 2144cc engine as 2.2L
and 2226cc engine as 2.3L. This has changed with the introduction of NF and
NG engines, which are 2309cc. Here on the q-list we use the proper way of
refering to the displacement, so 2144cc is 2.1L, 2226cc is 2.2L and 2309cc
is 2.3L.
