Umbau: conversion
diese Motoren kommen f�r 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 �, ALT 132 for �, ALT 129 for �.
