b200ft

Jan 15, 2004 1 Replies

I posted some time ago about a 940's b200ft converted to lpg. well, the bottom line is that it _can_ be done (and apparently it'll cost me 200euros, which to me seems quite a lot of money). I'm now trying to find some more specs about the car's engine. all the info i was able to retrieve come from the various swedishbricks and turbobricks site. what i'm wondering is: does the rule on volvo's old car figures always work? i mean, does a 945 (mine in particular is a 945.211) always mean that it's a 4 cylinders engine and 5 doors? Also i'm trying to figure out what engine is more more recent between the b200ft and the b230ft. At last i bought the car, but i got disappointed when i found out that no manual and/or car mainteinance book was left in there, so i was wondering where could i possibly buy one.



TIA,



btw, i was really amazed how easy is to drive such a car: i find my girlfriend's VW Polo crappier than my-almost-5-meters-long-new-volvo :)) ____________________________ V a l e r i o M e r a n i

The B200 and B230 were both produced at the same time. The only difference is the B200 has smaller pistons and a 2.0 litre displacement vs. 2.3 for the B230. And Volvo's naming does not always work on the middle digit, there are some x4x (mostly diesel) cars with 6 cylinder engines, and some x6x cars (primarily turbo) with 4 cylinder engines. The first digit denotes the car series, and the last is either a generic "0" or the number of doors.
