There is bound to be someone who can tell what engine you exactly have, by looking at that number. I had the same problem when I owned a Volvo 480. The only way I could find out was by looking at the engine type. It turned out to be a 109hp non-cat engine. As for the sign on the trunk: it doesn't have to be what is supposed to be on there. Lots of cars drive around with wrong type identification, just to make it look more a more expensive model or just the opposite a cheaper model. Usually though this will only fool people who don't take some intrest in cars. Mark Gerritsma (amgATddsDOTnl) Mark Gerritsma (amgATddsDOTnl)
