Yes, very true, in fact, I own one example of the 1989 200TQ where the VIN
break doesn't pan out. I recently purchased an early 89 200TQ from an
auction with the VIN # 44KN004382 which "should" have the early timing belt
with square cogs.....but of course it doesn't, it has the later style Super
Torque belt....

I should have mentioned that the VIN # break is only an
approximation.....and as you have noted....not a very good one....having it
tied to the engine number as you have suggested....would have been nice :-)

Nothing worse than putting a rounded cog belt.....on a square gear......
