>What does the -031 part of the model mean?
We keep getting this kind of question, and I had not been able to figure out
any meaning for it before, but on a hunch I checked the bottom of the
microfilm in a section labeled "Table of Models" and I think it shows up
there as something called a "sales code."
A 361-031 is a LHD VW Variant L with a 40 kW (54 BHP) M238 engine. [M 238
is the FI engine, which is also indicated by the U engine prefix.]
