Sticky Acronyms

[DV52]

Is SFD worthy of forum Lexicon status? If so, maybe in English "Vehicle Diagnostic Protection" - but I'm not sure of the German name that originally seeded the Acronym (perhaps "FahrzeugSchutzDiagnose")?

They use it on their own Concern language, so it seems fine

@AINils :Thanks - I'm always envious of those who understand (and are fluent speakers-of) German language. Much to my chagrin, it's not a skill that I possess!!

how about VZE?

It's VAG's descriptor for "Traffic Sign Recognition" and according to Mr Google, it translates to VerkehrsZeichenerkennung (maybe?)

how about VZE?

I imagine that would be "VerkehrsZeichen Erkennung" which translates to "Traffic Sign Recognition".

How about KW? Per the interwebz:

KW is short for Kurbelwinkel, which in English is "crank angle". Ofent used as "crank angle degree", as in German "°KW".

KW (Kurbelwinkel) > CA (crank angle) - German to English translation on #KudoZ Term Help Network.

I thought it was Kurbel Welle grad

Anyway, this may have been covered but one of my favourites is ABS

So I've been reading the data everyone has been posting up and would like the understand the acronyms used?

ASAM -
ROD -
CVN -
WSC -
VCID -
VINID -

What do these stand for and what are they?

Thanks,
H

 

[Bruce]

ASAM - hover on the bold letters and it is defined..
WSC - same...

VCID and VINID are acronyms we use inside Ross-Tech and they provide no meaningful information to those outside Ross-Tech.

ROD - one of several types of files used by VCDS to define the labels and such presented when viewing modules.

CVN - I've forgotten what that one means. Help please!

HVAC Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning

FSI - Fully Stratified Injection
TFSI - Turbocharged Fully Stratified Injection

 

[Uwe]

I've added a number of the above to forum's secret decoder ring. However I can't abide by these:

FSI - Fully Stratified Injection
TFSI - Turbocharged Fully Stratified Injection

None of those engines actually run a "Fully Stratified" mixture. VW tried that on some of the first non-turbo 2.0 direct-injected engines in the early 2000s in Europe and it just didn't work out. I don't remember the exact reason why (perhaps NOx emissions?) but I believe they did software updates on all of them to produce a homogeneous mixture and basically gave up on the idea of running a stratified mixture. Yet somehow the letters "FSI" stuck on all the direct-injected gasoline engines anyway.
