1998 c70 t5, pre me7 ?

[mr shifter]

Would a 1998 c70 t5 be a pre me7 ?
Thanks guys.

Yes. I believe the ME7 was introduced in 1999.

It could be either, 1998 was changeover year, my 1998 V70 is ME7

Visually is there much difference between pre and me7 ?

[stribo]

Visually there's no difference in the cars, if you're looking at the engine, the easiest way to tell is whether or not it has a throttle cable.

I think the ME7 cars have a Blue grill badge and the pre ME7 ones a Black badge.

if you look on the bonnet grill, ME7 has a blue badge instead of the older ones having black

Could be tricky - being a crossover year, they might have grabbed whatever was on the shelf.

Mine has the same grill badge as yours, yet mine is pre ME7. ;)
