The Digijet system is based on the L-Jetronic.  Yours, being a later version,
would be based upon the L-Jetronic with Lambda.  There are some significant
differences in the computer (I think the Bosch units have larger maps, and
"learn" a bit) but not in the rest of the system.

K-Jetronic is "continuous injection" (rather than the pulsed electronic
variety) and is used in the Rabbits and Golfs and other cars.  I do not
know if VW has a different name for this, or if they used the stock Bosch
stuff.

Of course, I don't have my copy of Probst in front of me, and my memory is
known to be flawed...
