If you're not sure of your Volvo's platform and generation (P2, P3, etc.), check out your car's history and info in our shop-by-model detail pages. Thus, the safest way to track different versions/revisions of parts on these engines is by the engine's serial number, which this guide will help you find and read. Volvo doesn't make their engines in the same factory as their car bodies (indeed, they make car bodies around the world, including here in the US), so the engines are crated up at their factory in Sweden and sent in batches to a car body factory to be installed in to cars. When they do this, they make a notation in their parts catalog stating what engine serial number ranges a product fits: "Fits up to and including engine serial number -3082419" or "Fits from engine serial number 3082420- onwards" or similar. ![]() ![]() Volvo is notorious for changing engine parts in the middle of production model years. Why do I need an engine serial number to figure out what parts fit my Volvo?
