As a newbie to this forum and a soon-to-be Audi A3 owner, I'm finding myself a bit of an outsider when it comes to understanding some of the jargon I read.

Is it possible to put up a stick of jargon used?

What's 8P/P? MY9,10,11,12?
What's BE? ET46? CH?, HU?

etc etc...

I'm confused!
Thanks

8P is the newer A3 chassis.

MY is Model Year

ET is wheel offset - you'll need to google that it's too much to go into there, it's the amount a wheel sticks out.

CH is a BBS wheel?

HU is Head Unit.

What context is BE used?
 
Thanks for the swift response. I see people talking about alloys being ET46, ET48 etc and haven't a clue what they mean lol.

BE, as in "New one is TDI 140 BE with comfort pack and non smoking pack in phantom." from a current thread on the A3 (3P) forum.

Im pretty sure that the BE means black edition.
 
makes me laugh some of the abbreviations used here.

One that really makes my head itch is FBMFSW? Think I got that right lol

It's almost as bad as txt tlk! :p
