From 1995 to 1999, the company manufactured the 1.8-liter Volvo B4184S gasoline engine, which was only fitted to the original S40 sedan and a comparable V40 station wagon prior to restyling. This motor’s B4184S2 and B4184S3 versions had bigger piston strokes and volumes, respectively.
B4164S, B4164S2, B4184S, B4184S2, and B4194T are members of the 2.0-liter modular engine family.
The engine was mounted on:
- Volvo S40 I (644) in 1995 – 1999;
- Volvo V40 I (645) in 1995 – 1999.

Disadvantages of the B4184S engine
The most straightforward and dependable motor in the line is this modification without a phase regulator;
A tiny amount of lubricant is frequently found here because of clogged crankcase ventilation;
The valves bend when the timing belt resource breaks, which is typically less than 90,000 kilometers;
Additionally, if a broken alternator belt enters the timing, it can bend the valves;
When an engine fails, you should check the camshaft position sensor’s rotor integrity.
