Default Phase 1 or phase 2?

Quick question - am I right in thinking that a W-reg 2 litre S40 automatic with single headlamps not twin, a full-width black bumper strip round the front, window / mirror switches in the centre console, and a vertical slatted grille(as opposed to egg-crate) is very likely to be a phase 1, and therefore won't have VVT?

Ta

Cheers

Jack

Not necessarily, because at some point in mid late 1999 S40, V40 models, started coming with the S2 engine. Check your engine code. You most probably have the B4204S2 engine, which has the VVT . The earlier B4204S, will not have a VVT

Sorry, just to make it a bit clearer. The B4204S2 engine was also fitted on some of the latest Phase 1 cars. I saw. T reg a few days ago, with the B4184S2 engine, which is the second 1.8 engine that Volvo made.

Your car is most probably a Phase1 /Phase 1.5

The waterfall grille was also fitted to phase 2s although they are interchangeable with the egg crate ones

Correct, came in the late 2002 facelift, along with the 3 spoke steering wheel amd the 4 gauge intrument cluster.
