Based on the above, I'd go with:
WAU=Audi
B=Coupe
B=2144 or 2224cc
0=Active (you must put on your own seatbelt!)
85=Coupe or Quattro
0=Check
D=1983
A=Ingolstadt
BTW, I have no idea how to resolve the fact that things like ml=85 can
be 4 things. Maybe there is a formula, that I'm too tired to figure
out.

Handy as hell when needing to know how much labour is needed for a
repair. Keeps the shop honest!
