Default Volvo I5 = Audi I5 still?

IIRC, Volvo bought the rights to Audi's I5 a long time back. Thye Volvo I5 used to be exactly the same as the Audi version. Is it still? Or atleast still based on it? I was just thinking that Volvo turbo I5's might be suitable for fairly easy transplant into an Audi without offending the Audi gods...

Default Hmm, weird. It works for me.

I know, it's in my cache, but it works if I copy/paste the url, too.

Default Re: Talking to a Volvo mechanic friend of mine....

I know that Audi supplied Volvo with the old diesel 5 cylinders back in the day...

What I wonder is if Volvo took some of that technology and used it on thier I-5 engines?

I'd be interested in looking at the internal design of a Volvo 5 cylinder some day just to compare...

Default Like I said, I know it's in my cache...

but it comes up when I enter the link into the browser, which wouldn't happen if there were a problem with the url. Plus, I just started using a new browser(empty cache) and it's been working fine all along.
