Why do I need an engine serial number to figure out what parts fit my Volvo?

Volvo is notorious for changing engine parts in the middle of production model years. 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 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. Thus, the safest way to track different versions/revisions of parts on these engines is by the engine's serial number.

Below you'll find engine serial number locations for all modern Volvos. 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.

P80, NedCar, and P2s with 'white block' engines, 1990s to mid-2000s

• 850
• S70/V70
• 940/960
• C70 coupe and convertible
• S40/V40
• XC90
• S80
• S60/V70
• XC70/V70 XC

For the Volvos of the 1990s to mid 2000s with the 'white block' inline-four, -five, and -six cylinder engines, Volvo puts the engine serial number in two places: a sticker on the upper timing cover and a stamping on an engine block surface. It is very common for the sticker on the timing cover to be missing or damaged but the stamping on the engine block is always there.

The sticker and the stamping both have the engine family and the engine serial number. If ever in doubt what engine is in your Volvo, check the stamping!

The stamping on the block is a little bit difficult to see, but with a little persistence and a bright flash light, you will find it:

P1 and P3s with 'compact five' engines, mid 2000s to mid 2010s

Hyundai Excavator Serial Number Decoder

• S40/V50
• C30
• C70 folding hardtop
• S60/V60
• Some later V70 XC70s
• Some later XC60s

Volvo began to use a special compact variation of their venerable 'white block' inline-five engine in their P1 and P3 platform cars. These have somewhat trickier to read engine stickers showing the engine family and serial number, but they're still there and still important for things like different tensioners or water pumps past a certain engine serial number.

On the compact fives, the engine serial number sticker has moved to the lower timing cover, sitting just above the crankshaft pulley and just below the engine mount. It's difficult to see in place because it's right next to the frame rail, but can be seen with either the right-side (passenger in the US) engine mount removed or through the right-side wheel well with the plastic wheel well liner pulled up.

If you're changing your engine mount or doing belt service, take the time to look for the sticker and write down your serial number. You'll thank yourself later!

P3s with 'short six' engines, mid 2000s to mid 2010s

• S80
• XC60
• XC90 '3.2i'
• S60/V60
• XC70/V70

At the same time Volvo introduced the compact versions of the old 'white block' inline fives, they also introduced new, clean-sheet 3.0 turbo and 3.2 inline six engines, sometimes known as the 'short six' because of the engineering tricks Volvo used to make an inline six engine fit transversely in engine bays.

One of these engineering tricks was to move belt-driven accessories like the water pump, alternator, and A/C compressor from the end of the engine to the sides via relay shafts and gears, making the whole engine shorter since it no longer needs a crankshaft pulley to drive those accessories via belts.

Without a crank pulley or belt drive, the end of the engine block is nice and flat, and the engine serial and part number stickers are in these locations:

• The engine serial and VIN sticker with barcode (blue) is sideways on the right side of the cylinder head, behind the upper torque mount and visible with the engine cover removed
  
• The engine part number sticker (yellow) is on the large rubber plug where the crank pulley would normally be.
  

We've found that engine serial number is less critical with the short six family of engines, as most fitment issues can be generalized to either the engine model (like B6304T2 vs B6304T4) or to chassis breaks, both of which can be figured out from the VIN. Still, if you need it, here it is.

P2 and P3s with V8 engines, mid 2000s to early 2010s

• S80 V8
• XC90 V8

In large Volvos like the XC90 and S80, one of the optional engines was a 4.4L V8 made by Yamaha for Volvo. Vee engines are unusual for Volvo, and this engine has its sticker in an unusual spot: between the banks of the vee, above the central belt idler pulley.

Later P3s and SPA/P5s with VEA engines, 2015 and beyond

Volvo has adopted a common family of 2-liter, four-cylinder turbo-, super-, and twin-charged engines called VEA ('Volvo Engine Architecture') to power all of its latest US-market cars.

While there are many tiny variations of these engines, they all share many common elements:

• Engine serial number (red) and engine part number (green) on a sticker on the upper timing cover
• Engine serial number (red) and engine model code (blue) stamped on the PCV box by the spark plugs under the engine cover

The Volvo VIN number is a unique code for car identification. It also provides information on the vehicle’s technical data. Importantly, VINs in cars are not the same, and this means that decoding your Volvo VIN can help you find important information about the car you want to buy. A VIN decoder will reveal detailed vehicle history such as service repairs or the number of previous owners. So how do you find the VIN in your Volvo and how do you decode it? We will tell you how to decode it.

Volvo – decoding the VIN number

Volvo body number decoding can be particularly important for those planning to buy an after-market car. The Volvo ID number helps to establish detailed parameters such as place of manufacture, model year and equipment options. However, verification of the body number allows you to search through the stolen vehicle database and see its full accident or property history. As you can see, VIN decoding in your Volvo allows you to see important vehicle information, so you can verify the data provided by your dealer. If you want to know if the Volvo you are interested in is accident-free, decode the VIN using the form below.

Volvo – where to find VIN?

Volvo Engine Serial Number Lookup

The first thing we should do before checking the body number is to locate where the VIN is on a fixed component in your Volvo and compare it with the VIN recorded in the documents. However, it can be difficult to find the VIN in a Volvo, because it is not always in the usual places. So if you’re wondering where the VIN in your Volvo S80 is, it was placed on the floor in front of or next to the passenger seat between 2006 and 2009 and the VIN plate is located on the dashboard housing on the left. On the Volvo V50, the manufacturer has located the VIN on a fixed part of the front bulkhead and the VIN plaque on the centre pillar to the right of the rear passenger door. The Volvo XC 60 (2013-2016) has the VIN number on the fixed part in front of the passenger seat. The same applies to the XC 90.

And remember that the most reliable VIN is the one that is stamped out, not the one that is stuck. And whether you’re trying to locate a VIN on your Volvo XC 70, S60 or V40, it’s worth using a tool that will help you find your body number.
