Thanks,
yeh I got all that, I know mine is, as you say Petrol 5 cyl 2.4cc 20 valve Turbo.
But as you have just explained the 7 that comes after the T in my engine number (B5244T7) denotes what version of that same engine it is.

What I am trying to understand is what gives the T5 designation IE an
850-T5.

Is it the fact that they had the smaller capacity engine 2.3cc with a high press turbo giving 240bhp ?

One of the reasons behind my enquiry is,
I saw for sale a set of pistons advertised as bought for a Volvo 2.4 T5.
Which I thought was incorrect. (I presumed ALL T5s are 2.3T)
The gentlemans way of thinking was that they were for the 5 cyl turbo, hence T5.

So I ask once again, What makes an 850-T5 / V70-T5, ect a T5 ??

Hope I havent confused anyone.
Joe.
