This code indicates the original bore size of the engine cylinder.

Number of box transmitting
To identify the checkpoint, there are two groups of numbers. The first group is located at the top of the clutch housing. It contains the letters of the checkpoint code (first 3 digits or letters) and date of manufacture. The second group is located on the side of the case and indicates the type of gearbox.

Identification of body parts
The main body parts on all models produced from 1991 and later are marked with the VIN number and the Audi emblem (4 rings). This is done in order to combat theft and sale of the car in parts. All replacement genuine parts also bear the Audi branding and a designation plate "R DOT" in place of the VIN for that vehicle.
