dec 2001 V40 2.0T VIN Question?

VIN Number is :YV1VW29622F822282
I have got B4204T2 engine in car, when i look into VIDA or any site for VIN decoding i should have B4204T3 engine in my car...
VIN Number states i should have T3 engine.
Is it possible there were some series with older T2 engine in it, or my car had engine replacement?

Re: Metallic sound on cold engine

It was exhaust manifold. 3 bolts out of 6 were missing.
Fixed now.

Update: I drove the car for couple of km, ac fan turned off. Probably was just my paranoia. :)

Perhaps ECU detects hot air temp and wants to try to cool it alittle with ac fan.

Re: Volvo V40 2.0LPT yr 2001 fans behaviour

I have a/c. So far i didn't determine which fan is it. But i'm pretty sure that couple of time fan did kick in even previously to the engine starting(when i turned ignition key).

Volvo V40 2.0LPT 2001

Recently i got P0139, i deleted after ~200km it came back, so i will be probably inspecting my rear O2 sensor.
