Are all 1.8s GDI?
I'm looking at buying a 2003 V40 1.8 Auto., I understand the 1.8 GDI won't stand E5 petrol but the 1.8 will. Can anyone tell me how you can tell if it is a GDI model?
and were there two different 1.8 models or are all 1.8s GDI? Thanks for any info. Last edited by cogs; Jun 4th, 2022 at 11:41. |

The GDI will have "GDI" written on the engine cover:
Regular 1.8: |

Thank you T5R92011, That is brilliant. If I'd gone and looked at the car even I couldn't have missed that .
After talking to the seller on the phone he turned out to be an idiot who wanted way too much money for it so I didn't bother. Pretty glad actually as it seems I could be about to buy a very nice S80 and looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of a Volvo. Thanks for the help, much appreciated. |

If you have the registration number of the car, you could check online to see what CC the engine is .. The volvo engine is 1783cc & the mitsubishi GDI is 1834cc. The volvo (1783)engine is ok with E10 petrol, but i use the old E5 when i can get it, as there is no financial advantage in using E10, if worked out at pence per mile, due to worse MPG on E10.
