A guy came up to me the other day and unleashed a spiel on me about how Volvo don't make any engines and it is actually an Audi engine in our car.... I tried to say I don't think you're correct but you know how some people are he bombarded me with facts that I had no answer to, so it got me thinking and looking into it... What is the history of this wonderful 5 pot? My defence went as far as "I'm sure it is a Volvo block but with all Ford internals".
My basic research into Volvo engines it looks like they started developing a 5 pot in the 70's, so already his statement of "Volvo don't make any engines" looks incorrect.
Experts in this please enlighten me, so next time I am armed with the facts!
