Great job van I read mine the sway way. On the early car I used to have a cheater page because of the German color names haha. This should help a lot of people who want or am electrically inclined. Great job

Previous to that the colors are in German and the only key is shown only on the 85/2 pdf!
SW= Black
WS = White
RT = Red
GN = Green
GY = Yellow
GR = Grey
BR = Brown
BL = Blue
LI = Violet

Not to nit pick or anything, but Yellow in German is "Gelb". On the schematics, GE is yellow, not GY.
