How do you find the chassis number for a 240 SE wagon? I have looked at all the plates trying to find the number to buy a cat. converter. Thanks Jim

I have no idea why it wouldbe hard to buy a cat for this car. FCP Groton lists this one:

DV-009 Cat Converter 84-91 (36" in length) w/ hole for Oxygen sensor in cat. (A plug is included if your cat does not have an O2 sensor in there, it will require tightening before the cat can be installed properly) $125.00

Cheap and oughta work just fine. The only engine differences are whether it was a California emissions (EGR equipped) car or a "regular" 49-state model. IF you don't live in Calif, it's almost certainly NOT equipped with it.

Pop the hood. Near the latch on the front shelf is a plate riveted on. That is your number.

Are you saying that a chassis number is not the VIN ??



Looking in my Volvo Quick Reference Parts Catalog:

B230F......1989-93...With EGR.....p/n 8551406-5

B230F/FD...1991-93...Without EGR..p/n 8551408-1


My WorldPac catalog is a little different:

240 B230F 1985-92...p/n 3531403


Hope this is helpful.

Good Luck,

Bob
