What kind of engine do i really have?

Post by NasoNex » 08 Nov 2004 09:47 pm

My car is a Volvo 360 GL (1987 model)

Its a 2 litre, 105 Hp engine. (Not injection, sorry i dont remember the word)

I found out from the manual that its a B200, but isnt there a letter or two behind B200 ? Like KE or KS?
Just wanna know what it really is :)

Thanks!

The second letter (KS, KO, etc) refers to the country specific revision, and denotes things like varing compression ratio and (for injection models) whether it has EGR, Pulsair, etc...

...But we don't worry about all that...its just a B200K to us :)

Welcome, by the way!

cheers

5lab and foggyjames already explained it, but if you want to know the exact version, find your VIN (XLB34...) and check this topic. Alternatively, there should be a sticker at the top of the underside of the bonnet with the engine code.
