t5 engine cover

[MWT5]

hi can anyone tell me if this engine cover is an original t5 cover because i thought they all had volvo 20 valve on them.
it is off my v70 t5 auto?http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i91/mwt5/th_DSC_0254.jpg (http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i91/mwt5/DSC_0254.jpg)

yours is a slightly later version. The phase 1 engines do

but because yours is now part integrated with the cambelt cover there was less space - so only the word Volvo remains.

cheers dave
there are that many different spec's and options it is a suprise if you find any two t5's that are the same.

There are 3 basic T5 engines.
1. Upto late 1998 - manual throttle as see above - pas pump reservoir located infront of cambelt. 2319cc.
2. ME7 engine introduced late 1998 - Electronic throttle system - variable valve timing cylinder head -2319cc. PAS reservoir move to inner wing - in front of expansion tank
3. S60/V70 P2 engines - 2.4litres (I dont know much about this engine alas). Air box resized - I think. top engine mount integrated onto suspension turrets

There are variations within these 3 depending on which turbo was added. The majority of turbos are mitsubishi units ranging from the 15G on the 850s (including limited editions) - later the 16T on the majority of T5s (most 70 series inc ME7).
V/S70R used the 18T and some late P1 V70R AWD had the 19T.

More confusingly still for the S40 II, V50 and new C70cc the T5 engine is a rebranded 2.5L LPT?!?!

Indeed the option specs for the trim level and optional extras is vast and confusing at times.

On the p1 R's auto's had 16T and manual 18T,

Note the P1 i.e. he means the V70 and he's right.

I thought it was only the P1 V70R AWD Auto's that had the 18T but the manual had the 16T like the manual and auto S70

I thought the 850 T-5R (and 850R?) had the 16T ? or is it the same as the 'lesser' 850 T5s?
