64pvolvo1800 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 does the VIN show which tranny the car was built with? FWD vs AWD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeG Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I don't think so, unless the car's type forces it to be a certain transmission type. A US-spec V70R (98-00), for example, will always be stock AWD auto.You need a VIN decoded? Try this online decoder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Lee Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 This is the one I use but it predates AWD transmissions. It is particularly helpful on the trim plate.http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/850plates.shtml...Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V70 I just bought is silver/black, auto, GLT, NO AWD. I took a chance on it thinking it was and not wanting the AWD and fully expecting to have to yank the angle drive. Good news is it's NOT, yea. Thanks for the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
