What was the last year for the C30 coupe?

[BlackBart]

When did they quit making them?
It’s based on the S40 chassis?
Would you say it’s essentially the 850 white block drivetrain?
Reliable?

Thanks -

Last year was 2013 in NA:

Block is the same, but everything around it different. Turbo is in different location, as is alternator. Intercooler pipes are also different. Air box is a pain to remove. You have to remove the 2 engine mount bolts on the RHS and then use a long bar to force the engine back to hope to make enough clearance to remove it without breaking plastics. Thermostat is tucked under the airbox.

Just a lot less room to play with under the hood. It is not terrible but you will have challenges.

Check for broken or blocked sunroof drains.

Fun little car, just wish I fit!

Good luck in your hunt!
