Character

B4164S/T

"S40/V40/V40 II. Early NA versions simple and reliable. Turbo versions (B4164T) in V40 II more complex. Cooling system standard concern. Good parts availability."

T5 VEA (B4204T)

"New-gen Volvo 4-cyl. Powers everything from XC40 to XC90. Reliable but less character than old I5."
