5000 Turbo engine versions

[Christo Atanasov]

According to vin it is exactly '85 Audi 5000.. but I think that model of K26
turbine is what can define this engine if KH is smaller K26 than that from
MC.



Regards,

Christo

a K26, but had a smaller turbine like the earlier oil-cooled turbo.

> The vin is: WAUHC0441FN104092. I couldn't find anything conclusive enough
in the Bentley to tell me what engine this is. About three spots tell me
it's an MC1, varying from 158 to 162 HP. In one other spot, it tells me that
it's a 130HP turbo engine. BTW, the Bentley also says the KH is 135 hp, and
140 hp. Not real decisive. Anyhow, I didn't check for the water cooled
turbo. Where is the knowk sensor on these engines? Right below the
distributor, If I recall correctly. Hope that's right. I'll probably go to
look closer at it tonight. I'll try the crayon trick then.
