My volvo's been re-engined and now its making

Oct 18th, 2002, 21:59

Actually its my mothers and I found out recently it was fitted with a replacement engine when a cam belt broke at 25000 miles.

I dont know anything about the replacement other than it came from a breakers !

Does anyone know of a site that would be able to tell me the age of the engine from its number ? ( local volvo dealers unhelpful)

If anyone posseses a paper list, its a 1.7 engine with the number 89-598441 AFFD29
( hopefully that means it's an '89 engine and can run unleaded ?! )

Also, its making a "ticking" noise at the distributer cap end of the engine - the rotor arm and cap have been replaced and the cams & shims look ok -- are there any known weaknesses at that end of the engine that I should know about or should I get ready for a big strip down at some time soon ?

Ta for any help/advice you can give
