    As far as I'm aware Dave, the PL is the Euro spec KR, the only difference that I know of is that it runs a cat - I dont know if this is like the US spec 9A tho, running different ECU management, like KE Jetronic like on the passat 9A's over here

    Have a dig via google, should come up with something, essentially its the same block as a KR tho

    The differences between the KR and PL (those that I know):
    - PL has cat
    - PL has different intake cam (smaller duration)
    - KR is K-Jet and PL is KE-Jet
    - KR has 60mm fuel pump, PL has 52mm

    PL is similar to the 9A CIS-E and all that. Did I hear right once something about a device to control emission which can be disconnected or am I talking rollocks yet again?
