Knowing your engine code is the key to using the chart .
Before Audi stopped supplying service books it was easy to check the engine, gearbox, paint colour plus all the other build option codes which were printed on the first page of the book.
There also used to be a paper copy of the same info placed in the boot

for example, my 2012 2.0 TDI 177 ps has engine code CFGC

No short change
If you look along the 'horsepower' line it shows 130Kw,174 hp and 177ps which are all the European variations of defining the exact same engine power.
Not sure what S-A stands for either
