Volvo 2.5T=Renault?

Aug 02, 2004 8 Replies

After my visit one of installers for LPG equipment, during checking autodata and LPG manufacturer's databases, I notice that Volvo 2.5 T 210 hp/320 Nm engine is origin by Renault. Is it true, and if it is, in which Renault cars I can find that engine?


To my knowledge is the 5 cylinder, pure Volvo.

It is not from Audi.

No, the 5 cylinder's are all volvo, though the 2.5 20v NA unit was installed in some Renualt Safranes at one time.

Tim , can you give me some proof, as far as I know Renault never ! used 5 cylinder engines.

Thank, Robert

Search google for Renault Safrana 2.5 20V and you get a lot of hits. Most in french, but it says in many of them its a 5 cyl engine.

This is the data in Dutch

There really is a Renault Safrane model with Volvo 5-cyl. engine installed. It is very rare, as well as is the whole Safrane family outside France. Volvo has had a long-term co-operation with Renault when talking about engines. Actually I found Renault´s diamond-logo from the block of my 960´s B6304F engine when installing an engine heater unit. It must mean that Renault have supplied Volvo with some cast components of engines...

I just changed the wires in my V70, and it said on the box that the set fit Volvo and Renault, without specifying years or models. Now I know why!
