Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the engine inlet
manifold and a charge air cooler to cool the
compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in
air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold
and increases engine power over that developed
by the normally-aspirated engine. The charge
air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is
located between the turbo-compressor and inlet
manifold.
Fuel system
The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel
injection system.

Technician certification
In addition to Volvo factory training, Volvo
supports certification by the National Institute
for Automotive Service Excellence (A.S.E.). Certified
technicians have demonstrated a high degree of
competence in specific areas. Besides passing
exams, each technician must also have worked
in the field for two or more years before a certificate
is issued. These professional technicians
are best able to analyze vehicle problems and
perform the necessary service procedures to
keep your Volvo at peak operating condition.
