How do you identify whether it's an ft or an et? is it stamped somewhere? The time approaches when I'll be getting my industrial unit, and I have a hankering for a 940 but I wanna get the right one.

It should say on the timing belt cover. Other giveaways include the presence of a lambda sensor in the exhaust (which proves it's an FT), a hot-wire air mass meter (rather than the flappy paddle one like on a 360) (again proving it's an FT) and the stamping on the cylinder head between exhaust ports 2 and 3, which should read 1000530 for a B230FT.

All 940s had FTs...most 700s had ETs, but some late ones crept into the FT era.

cheers

thanks mate, glad we finally cleared up that particular patch of confusion in the vast sprawling prairie that is my idle mind. :)
