I'm sure some members are aware of this but it is not mentioned. From about the 1990s onwards (960,850,x70,etc), the engine codes can be split up as follows:
E.g. B5234T
Ignore the B on the front
Second digit is number of cylinders
Third and fourth are the engine capacity
Fifth digit is number of valves per cylinder
Sixth (and sometimes seventh) are additional info
So B5234T = five cylinder 2.3 20v turbo.
