Umbau: conversion
diese Motoren kommen für den Umbau in Frage: these engines are available for
the conversion ('kommen in Frage' also means: the ones relevant or in deeper
analysis: the ones relevant for this question).

The Umlaut is generated by holding down the ALT key and typing 148 on the
numeric keypad for ö, ALT 132 for ä, ALT 129 for ü.
