Actually since it is a European(Ialian) model it is very likely its a 2.0L B5204

Thank you all for your compliments. The engine is the 2.0-liter 105 kW (143 hp) and were sold almost exclusively in Italy, as in Italy until about 90 years there was a supertassa for those who possess cars with engine capacity exceeding 2000 cm3. In fact one of my 850 is less than 2000 cm3. Li almost precisely to avoid the 2000 supertassa. Today there is the supertassa. In Italy there was also a 2.5 TDI version (and even in Europe).

My Euro 1 (catalitca 3-way catalytic converter and lambda probe). In Italy over 90 years all the cars were not catalyzed. They have become compulsory after 90 years.

Volvo, however, was the first in Europe to bring the catalyst, in fact invented the 3-way and also invented the lambda sensor.

In Italy for Volvo 850 GLE GLT and the front windows were electric, while the rear handle. They say, however, that the panel is already preparing the cables, just that I find the electric windows and switches and I can do it without taking the impinatino or put cables.

While the GLT Luxury Series also had the rear windows, electric finishing dashboard, heated seats.
