Default Initialism and Acronym Glossary

Having just realised I had no idea what NVH meant I think we really need this for all members new and old as this may not just be a technical glossary I think this is the best place for it.

If you would like to post in this thread your various Initialisms and Acronyms we mods will add them alphabetically to this message

If you are puzzled feel free to ask what xyz means as well someone will know I hope

This list is for car related ones

CDT = ? often open to debate this one!
CDTi = ? as above with an i on it
FBH = Fuel Burning Heater
HGF = Head Gasket Failure
ICE = In Car Entertainment
IKE = Instrument Kombi Electronics (Instrument Cluster to you and me)
MAF = Mass AirFlow Sensor
NVH = Noise Vibration and Harshness
VIS = Variable Intake System

Here's my guess

CDT - Common Rail/Diesel/Turbocharged

CDTi- Common Rail/Diesel/Turbocharged/It's now got the power it should have had

CDTi is the official reference for the remapped versions that MGR produced when they woke up to the fact that the CDT was capable of producing a lot more power (it already did in the BMW in any case). I suspect that perhaps BMW didn't want the CDT to compete with the 3 series so held it back so to speak. The ECU had a different software map to give the extra beans, the hardware remains exactly the same. This remap was (is?) available as a dealer software upgrade, but the Ron box effectively does much the same.

For clarification, and because I'm a collector of acronyms,

PCV is Positive Crankcase Ventilation.
