So Volvo always has added their little touch to VW's engines.

I'll try to find where it was that I saw that Volvo had a role in developing the turbo for the D24. I seem to remember it was in some kind of official Volvo publication, where Volvo was trying to take credit for some part of the D24T engine whose smoothness and power they were so highly praising.

Volvo uses their own petrol engines (like the B20 and B23) or Renault engines (like the 2.7 and 2.8l V6 engines), when it comes to petrol.

I had a late '80s 760 with the 2.8L French Peugeot/Renault gasser V6 once. It was a pretty nice engine to drive, smooth and quiet. Only problem was it wasn't much faster than a good running D24T and used about twice as much fuel!
