RE: Model Differences??
Thanks that's interesting, I would say that the boost setting would be different as well along the fuel system perhaps, it would seem rather unlikely that just coooling the pressureize air would add that much power. Does the "R" have the same motor as in internals compression ect.
Thanks!
Isn't learning fun, i like it and i hope to be as less annoying as possible

The 850 Turbo and 850-R share the same 2.3L engine, same intercooler, same TD04HL-15G turbo, same everything. The ECU provides higher turbo boost for something like 20 seconds.

RE: Model Differences??
One thing I wish Volvo would have kept is the numbering convention they used for years and stopped in 1998.
The first digit is the car series like 1 or 2 for early 240 models, then 7 for the 740/760 and finally the 8 for the 850.
The 2nd digit is the number of cylinders. For instance a 264 had a six cylinder and a 244 a four cylinder. All 850's had a five cylinder. They kind of screwed up a little with the 760 Turbo Intercooler in that it had a turbo charged four cylinder.
The 3rd digit was the number of doors. 262 was a 200 series, 6 cylinder two door and the 265 was the same car with four doors. A 5 at the end meant it was a wagon and actually had five doors. Thus the 855 was an 800 series, 5 cylinder wagon.
Then in 98 they started the S for sedan or four door, the V for the wagon (I always say that's swedish for Vagon) and the C for a two door couple or convertible, but as far as I know the numbers don't mean anything now.

I have an 850 Turbo and it is a wagon, is 855 a US or europe thing?

RE: Model Differences??
For some reason starting with the 700 series they stopped putting the number on the end on the body of the car. But the 850 sedan is still referred to as the 854 and the wagon as 855. It's just not on the body trim that way. Careful I'm full of useless information. The older I get the more useless it gets. I'm talking about the information.
