Hi everyone!
Hi everyone!
Hello!
My name's Peter and I live in Sweden. I have a 340 GL -88, with the B200F engine. It's a
really reliable car, has never let me down in any way. Our family has owned two 360, a -86 GL,
and one -87GL. I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to everyone.

Hello Peter and in the Volvo 300 Mania world!
As Quentin said, are you sure it's a B200? Because here in Belgium + France + UK + The
Netherlands + Germany:
340 = 1.4, 1.6 D and 1.7
360 = 2.0

Hi, yes it really is a 340 with a B200 engine. The model is GL,
and I have always thought that the DL models are the ones with the smaller engines. My car
has exactly the same B200 injection engine, equipped with catalyser and Lambda Sond, as is
in the last versions of 360 GL (1987 and 1988). I have seen a few other 340 GL here in
Sweden that are like mine is. To what adress shall I send my pictures?

About B200F in 340...
Yesterday evening I heard that it probably (at least in Sweden) only were 340 GL of the year
1988 that were equipped with the B200F. And as I said, in
Sweden the 360 GL of 1987 and 1988 are all fitted with the B200F(with catalyser and lambda
sond), earlier it was the carburator engine B200K. The injection system is the low-power
version with 109 hp. The high-powered (112 hp) are ofcourse the ones in the GLT model. By
the way, I sent pictures yesterday, but I only had three

I've received your pictures! Thanks! You know 3 is ok
An important update will be necessary to add all the pictures that members have sent to me.
A 340 GL with the B200F, it's even strange as a 1.7 engine in Belgium! The differences
between markets are sometimes difficult to understand...

Just to add further confusion, you never could buy one of
those 'transitional' 2.0 345s here (UK) - it was either a 340 (1.4) or a 360 (2.0). And the 340
was never a 2.0 here either.
