what does ALDA stand for???

[karmamechanic]

newer than a newbie question, cause i havent a clue
did a search but could only find ALDA as an acronym

[Cr from Texas]

It's somewhere in the forum as I've found it a couple of times. The acronym is for a phrase in German that roughly translates to altitute compensator as best I remember.

Another Limited and Displaced Appendage

Automatische LadeDruck Anreicherung
Literal translation: Automatic Load Printing Enrichment
Automatic load/pressure enrichment has more English meaning.

Atmosphärische Ladedruckanpassung is what I've seen here and other places.

[thedjjack]

For me it stood for:

Air Leak Don't Accelerate (need a new pressure hose)

Another ATF (Automated Translator Fail)..
Ladedruck would best translate to either charging pressure or boost (from turbo, supercharger, blower or similar). The translator is half-right though, druck can also mean printing but not in this context. Trivia, Laddtryck is Swedish for Ladedruck, anyone can see the ethymological connection.

My all-time favourite Stupid German Automotive Related Term (SGART) has to be Klappenstutze. It's a beautiful word and if you don't have one, man are you missing out on something!
