    One resource I have bookmarked with all info including mpg, etc. is found here at Cars.com. This bookmark is for my 850 Turbo. From that page, you can click on the "Change Vehicle" link to put in your vehicle specifics, and bookmark the result.


    Alternatively;
    This label can be found on your timing belt cover (Pass Side of vehicle adjacent to the drive belt).

    The big bold letters will tell you what engine model you have.
    the middle numbers (SERIE) will tell you exactly what engine NUMBER you have. When Volvo made mid-year changes in their production/parts, the change is often designated by engine number, so having this info handy is a good idea.

    Cheers

    That is interesting, when I punch your VIN into Vadis it says "invalid vin". Anyhow, see where it says "55" in the 6th and 7th characters of your VIN? That is your engine code, you are running a B5254F. A turbo car would have a 57 which signifies a B5234FT. You can also look at the underhood emissions label and it will call out a certain amount of this stuff.
