couple of issues

callyuk · Dec 15th, 2006, 19:43

hi all
iv got a couple of this i would like to clear up

1: on my 1997 s40 se is the fuel flap meant to lock with the central locking?
2: is the 2.0 engine fitted in mine a toyota engine?
3: are all the interior parts from a phase 2 interchangable with phase 1s?

well thats all i can think of for now so any help would be great

Bearing in mind that mine is 2000MY.

1 - Yes
2 - No
3 - Maybe - I understand the front seats are not.........

In response to number 1
I've had 2 S40s,a 97,and i currently have a 98 and neither of them have a fuel flap that locks with the central locking,i'm guessing that's why the cap itself has a lock on it.Whether later ones do i couldn't tell you as i can't afford 2 buy one to find out!!!

My filler flap has no way of locking either!!!

Apparently the engine in mine is the same as used in the Luguna, although i have been told it's a Volvo made engine, basically a 5 cylinder out the T5 with a cylinder lobbed off!!!! So i asume Renault buy em from volvo!! not sure how accurate that info is though!!

i worked as a mechanic for renault for 3 years and can tell you that yes renault did use the volvo 2.0 lump but it is not the same one as that fitted in my car hence why i thought it may be a toyota lump as im sure iv heard someone say that volvo use them

The answers to your questions are:

1. On 1997, no it should have lockable filler cap
2. If it was then it might go wrong less often!!!
3. Not a chance!

Now get back to the south wales thread where you belong
