[Vwdiesel] Re: TDI vs. ECO

[McCanless, James]

NHV - Noise, Harshness, Vibration
MAF - Mass Air Flow (Sensor)

I should consider others more when I do that. After spending 20+ years
in the USAF and 4 years as a defense contractor I am very bad at using
them.

Could I get a brief lesson in acronyms?

My guesses:

TDI = Turbo Diesel Injection
NA = Naturally Aspirated
Rabbit D. = Rabbit Diesel


What are:

ECO
NHV
MAF 

???

Perhaps there are other commonly used acronyms you folks use?
