I rechecked both of my copies of the parts lists ('73 paper, and '80
microfilm and they all agree down the line. Each shows the M240
only in a number of places. I do see that there was an M250 which
was a higher output engine (54 bhp instead of 45 bhp) which looks
like the 1500S to me, but I can't be sure.
I also see that the AT was M248 up thru 69 and was then M249
from 70-on.
I found the reference to the N and R which I had never noticed
before.
I finally bought a paper copy of the parts list off eBay a few months
ago. I'll have to admit that it's not very satisfying. It's been lying in
the damp somewhere for years and everything's so full of mildew
that I'm almost afraid to touch it.
Does anyone here have an older paper parts list that might have
gotten this right. It looks like someone at VW forgot something at
some point and from there on the correct info was lost.
It also looks like the M-code list in the old paper list has a lot of
entries that the microfilm doesn't, so I'll have to go back and go
thru them and add in whatever is missing to my computerized list.
