ACRONYM LEGEND PLEASE!
 

Ok guys, I'm no schlubb at figuring out many acronyms but honestly, there are some that I simply cannot figger out! :D

Is there such an animal as an "Acronym Legend" anywhere on the forum OR the web? Please don't say "just ask" because there are times I'm reading a thread and come across one that stumps me and don't want to have to jump over to post a new thread inquirey on an acronym 'decode'.. Thanks for any insight here :)

what is the acronym that is giving you trouble?

(Oh man! Just what I DIDN'T want someone to ask!!)

The REASON for my remark above is that there are times I'm just perusing the thread and come across one and I don't feel it appropriate to stop, go to a post a new thread asking what a silly 2 - 3 letter acronym is! I guess I should be keeping a list that I can put out here to find out their meanings..

But...I recently came across 'HG' and 'OVP'? Anyway, that's only two that are fresh on my mind - there are several others...

Thanks for your help :)

Hg = head gasket

Ovp= over voltage protection


I believe there is a list, not exactly sure if it's this forum. It doesn't hurt to ask in the thread if you need clarification.

DOH! See. NOW I feel like a dolt :o

head gasket - sheesh! Unbelievable

Thanks! :)

Most sets of characters have many associated acronyms. Just type the acronym into google and it will come back with a list. Scroll down the list for those related to automobiles.

Thanks RichardM98!

I have been on here for a while, and some still stump me.

I Did the Google serch for IIRC in the search tab above, and got the above link.

If I Remember Correctly

If you just type IIRC into google (not the Peachparts search engine) the second hit gives you the definition.

Vacuum readings in mercury are (Hg).

Just to clarify -- vacuum readings are in millimeters measured on tube filled with mercury. Hg is the chemical symbol for the element mercury.

Just what I was looking for! Thanks..:D

Wait a minute, OVP stands for Ohne VerPackung, which means in German that no box is provided. you see this on sites when buying poarts.

Oh -- but wait!!! MAYBE that's the point of the thread~!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

That there are confusing acronyms out there used by MB enthusiasts who drive PKWs, er, passenger cars, right?:D

Sadly there are multiple abbreviation legends out there and it's even worse in German.

Roy, time to make another list, lol.
