Volvo related Acronyms

This was asked for on a couple of Volvo forums but never materialized. I think it would be a good thing here. If if grows, I'll ask Matt to pin this somewhere....I think it would help attract others in the community to this site (we can add links to VS, Swedespeed, etc.)...so I'll start. Please add to this.

ABS- Automatic Braking System
A/C- Air conditioning
EGR.. engine gas recirculation
ETM- Electronic Throttle Module
EVAP- Evaporative System (not the A/C evaporator)
HPT- High Pressure Turbo
LPT- Low Pressure Turbo
MAF- Mass Air Flow (Sensor)
PCV - Positive Crankshaft Ventilation (all the small hoses and oil separator)
TB- Throttle Body
TCV- Turbo Control Valve
TPS- Throttle Position Sensor
VST- Volvo Scan Tool

Thanks for your contributions. I have added them to the list and have rearranged to make alphabetical. I'll try to keep on top of this.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but LPT - Low Pressure Turbo.

And likewise, HPT.

And related is the Volvo model designations, example:

8 series
5 cylinders
0 sometimes written as "4" or "5" for # of doors
