Any CIS-E III experts?

[Eric S]

Thank you Ti,

Good to know.

All CIS-E I am familiar with was used on 10:1 motors, hence was knock
sensing.  Seems my 4 cyl (VW) experience in showing through again.

So tell me, where the 85-87 CGT and 4KQ a lower compression motor? (like
the VW JH engine code of the same period).  VW choose to keep CIS-Lambda
on those motors, curious that Audi would bother with CIS-E on a low comp
motor.
