I'm looking at buying a 98 V70 AWD but can't find any reliable info on what the standard engine was for this model. The used car dealer selling it didn't know which engine it had and wasn't prepared to find out.

I have seen mixed information,
- the NA 168 bhp,
- another couple says 190-193 LPT
- yet another said the only engine was the HPT - which I thought would only be for the R.

Does anyone know what is the correct standard engine? or where I can find reliable specs on line?

I am driving a 94 Turbo with a slushbox (which I hate) so I figure shifting can help make up for a loss of 30 bhp, but not sure I want to drop down to 168. Any thoughts?

All AWD unless "R's" are LPT, low pressure turbo set ups. so the around 200hp is correct.

The engine is a B5254T

Thanks Rich.

Also, if you go in to the owners section of Volvos website they have a vin decoding chart. That will tell you exactly what the car has.

No 70 series AWD's came with a NA engine.
