    AES Tranporter 4 Merc Vito 2792 81 90.3 140@4750 179@3200 10:01 Engine has modified camshafts and inlet manifold to improve low down response. RON 95
    AFP* 99.5-01 USDM 1J GOLF/JETTA 2792 81 90.3 177@5800 181@3200 10:01 Was controlled by , '99 & '00 -M5.9.2, '01 -ME7.1( E-Gas). Variable manifold. Calibrated for US RON 93
    * Some very late production 99.5 mk3's came with a AAA engine using AFP sensors

    Many an enthusiast and lay people tend to identify the physical changes to the 12v VR6 engine between 1994 to 1995 as "OBD1 and 2" This is because the engine controller was changed to incorporate legislative directives that would relate to US markets as the OBD2 std became mandatory in the US as of 1996. The ECU software features between Europe and the US do have significant differences mainly due to diagnostics as most of the European OBD functions are switched off and will be calibrated for different fuel quality. The ABV 2.9 was not available outside of Europe as the minimum fuel with reduced performance was RON 95. This engine came with both M2.9.1 and M3.8.1 controlers, with the later controllers fitted to the Golf 3 syncro and the Passat Syncro. AAA abd AES engine can be operated with RON 91 fuel with a reduction in performance.

    24v

    Grant Motorsport did some decent work with these engines as well. Obviosuly for more ABV specfic info the corrado forum is a very good source of the good (eg Schimmel 263's) and bad (bore ovality) for this code.

    AFP came in 99.5-01 MK4 (Some very late production 99.5 mk3's came with a AAA engine using AFP sensors).
    12v
    '99 & '00 -M5.9.2
    '01 -ME7.1


    We got BDF code for all mk4 24v VR6 in the US. ('02-04'). ME7.1.1


    I have a few "tuners" & "race" spec's for you to add. A few shop's here in the states have 250hp 12v's. I'll compile a list.

    2.8 24v
    BDE is ME7.1.1 ECU - 2 wideband O2 sensors, both cams equipped with hydraulic adjusters just like R32
    AYL found in Sharan and Alhambra - 1 wideband O2 sensors, both cams equipped with hydraulic adjusters just like R32
    AQP, AUE uses ME7.1 ECU - 1 wideband O2 sensor, hydraulic adjuster for intake cam

    3.2 24v "gen MK4" (ME7.1.1 older are "K-line version" read/write in boot mode)
    Golf 4 - BFH, BML
    Phaeton - AYT, BKL, BRK
    Touareg - AZZ, BAA, BKJ, BMV, BMX, BRJ
    Transporter - BDL, BKK, BDM, CFLA
    TT 8N - BHE, BPF
    !! If you want to SWAP R32 engine and keep Cruise Control System use Golf or TT ECU's because others connects directly to steering column electronics, not to the switch.

    3.2l 24v "gen MK5" (cams with runner length compensation, all ME7.1.1 ECU "CAN version" can be read/write through OBD, ABS VSS)
    Golf 5 - BUB, CBRA
    Passat - AXZ (the only TRUE 3.2 FSI !!! has the same head as 3.6 BLV and MED9.1 ECU)
    EOS - BUB
    A3 - BDB, BMJ, BUB
    TT - BUB

    3.6l 24v (MED9 ECU, in 2008 cams has been changed on most 3.6l engines)
    Passat - CDVB, CNNA, BLV 280hp, BWS 300hp (R36)
    EOS - CDVA 260hp
    Phaeton - CHNA 280hp, CPFA 250hp, CMVA 280hp
    Touareg - BHK, CGRA 280hp, CMTA 250hp
    Q7 - BHK 280hp
