Model:V40 T4 sport lux
Year:2003
Engine:2.0
Auto/Manual:M
Mileage (approx):130

Hello to all , Just got another T4 had a couple of cars since the last T4 which got sold. engine lived on ,but after the head work it still had pressure in the cooling.
Any hows
The car I got now is lovely but got the same probs, found a low mileage engine outta a 2002 LPT V40 engine code B4204T3, will this go in my 03 car?
my car has got a new turbo on it, do I just swap it onto the new engine then alls sweet?
I really dont want to let this car go, love volvos now but have had some probs on the way, been gettin told the engines are weak due to wet liners, also got told they were made with weak spots on the engine castings.
Any help an advice greatly app as about to throw money at it but dont know if its in the right place.. Razz

As long as the engine is the same size, it should be ok. just move all the sensors to the new engine, and the turbo
