1999 S70 T5 and engine size

Post by wllewis »

I purchased a 1999 S70 T5 used and I'm not sure if I have the 2.3L or 2.4L Turbo. Does anyone know how I would be able to find out this information, i.e. is it encoded into the VIN number? The dealership said it is a 2.3L, but the carfax report listed it as a 2.4L.

2.3. The high pressure turbos like yours and mine have magnesium (or similar metal) cylinder walls, and thus lower the displacement of the engine a little bit.
