stevemac76 · Post by **stevemac76** » 19 May 2011, 17:19

Hi guys, Im thinking of buying an S80 and have seen a 2001 model that I like, my question is, how can I tell the difference between the 140hp engine and the 170hp one? the owner claims it's the latter but I'd like to be sure...

Many thanks

Steve

get the 6th and 7th characters of the vehicle ID. Those digits are the engine model.
17 = B4204S2 V40 2.0l FWD
38 = B5244S4 S40/V50 2.4i FWD
39 = B5244S7 S40/V50 2.4i FWD
41 = B5202S 850/V70 2.0i FWD
51 = B5252S 850/V70 2.5i FWD
52 = B5254T4 S60/V70 R AWD
53 = B5234T3 V70 T5 FWD
54 = B5244T5 S60 T5 FWD
55 = V70 FWD
56 = B5254T S70/V70 GLT FWD - 1999
56 = B5244T 2000 -
57 = B5252S 850/V70 2.5i FWD Turbo
58 = B5244T3 S60/V70/S80/XC70 2000 -
59 = B5254T2 S80/S60/XC90 2.5T FWD/AWD, V70 2.5T FWD, XC70 AWD
61 = B5244S S60/V70 2.4 FWD
64 = B5244S6 S60/V70 2.4 FWD
65 = B5244S2 S80/V70 2.4 FWD
67 = B5244S4 C30/C70 T5 FWD
68 = B5254T3 S40/V50 T5 FWD/AWD
70 = D4192T3 S40/V40
71 = D4192T S40/V40
72 = B5252T S70/S80 2.5TDi FWD
73 = D4192T2 S40/V40
78 = D4192T4 S40/V40
85 = B8444S XC90/S80 V8 AWD
97 = B6299S S80 2.9 FWD
98 = B6324S XC90/S80/V70 3.2 FWD/XC70 AWD
99 = B6304T4 S80 3.0 T6 AWD

5 cylinder 2.4 w/o turbo is the 170 HP and 2.0 w/o turbo is the 140 HP.

There is a more specific list for S80 of that year but I could not find it readily though I believe I have a pocket data book for 01 model year around somewhere.

they are both 2.4 litre engines and both 20v as far as i know, but how can you tell the difference between the 140hp and 170hp models?

I can't find any reference to a 2.4 litre that is 140 HP available in a 2001 S80.
What is the engine code from VIN (6th and 7th positions in VIN)?

I believe Steve is from Northumberland, UK, so I know there were smaller displacement engines available for the S80; looking at the Europe partner group, the 2001 S80 was sold with various 5 cyl engines: a 2.0L turbo (180HP; B5204T5; engine VIN 49), a 2.5L turbodiesel and a 2.4L turbodiesel. The 140HP is a naturally aspirated 2.4L engine (type B5244S2; VIN 65), and if memory serves, the 170HP is the naturally aspirated B5244S (VIN 61, I believe). The engine VIN (6th and 7th numbers in the VIN) is absolutely the best way to tell.
