1.8 non GDi engine - any pointers
I've just picked up my new to me 2002 1.8 non GDi v40. Anything I should know about this engine - it on 54,000 full volvo service history to date. Whats reliability / longevity like? Doesnt seem as nippy as the 440 1.8i I traded for it, but its a family mover, so speed sadly not the main factor to consider. Its a base model, but the 440 hadd no toys to the electric windows, aircon and cd are all new toys to me

If the fuel consumption gets silly (and some of them do) change the thermostat and ECU temp sender (which is just below Tstat)........
