Volvo: Volvo S70 Engine Identification, brake rotors, volvo s70


Question
I have a 1998 Volvo 270, T5, VIN # YV1LS537721505687,
a turbo.  However, the reference to engines in the owners manual refer to a T3 - 190 hp turbo and a T6 - 236 hp engine.  Where do I find the engine identification to determine what turbo engine is in my vehicle?

Secondly, I understand there are two different widths of brake rotors for the 1998 S70.  If this is correct, how do I identify what width rotor I will need to replace the current rotor without a micrometer?


Thanks,

Randy

Answer
i would call the dealer and ask them, the t6 will have the nicer wheels and lower profile tires, better brakes etc. i would think that there would be a t6 insignia on the back of the car, pretty sure about that. theres a site called brickboard.com with people that would know this stuff. i think you will like the site
