RE: [DML] Heads up on oil pressure sender cross parts reference

["D F" <funkstuf@xxxx>]

This brings up a question.
I here that this engine cross references with Volvo parts, I heart that it 
is a Renault, and I hear that it is a Peugot.
What's the real story here? What other cars was this engine actually in. I 
have heard more about it being a Renault than a Volvo...
So, who knows the truth.. Where was this engine built?
