S-codes

The S-code is used to identify what equipment level a unit had upon delivery. Such equipment could be standard on one market, but extra option on others.

Volvo don’t have information about S-codes for 1800 in their historical archive. We have to rely on spare part books and information from owners of 1800S, E and ES to decode the numbers. The list below is not at all complete and in some cases only assumptions based on photos in the 1800 register.
