Caveats and conflicts (3)

Memory only, no source opened for this row. Same thread lists BE3, BE4, BE5, ML5T together but does not map them to engines.
Cannot tell which of BE1 or BE3 applies. A separate forum says the BX diesel box is BE3.
Forum, not OEM.

Forum. Same thread: BE3 replaced BE1 around 1988/89 and survived into Xantia-era cars. [link]
