Hi guys, In todays video I discuss the best things about the Volvo D5 engine! #Volvo #D5 #Ownersperspective Donate to support the Drivelife channel here: www.paypal.me/drivelifeyt
Got a Gen 2 V70 D5 Summum with the 185HP, with 508.000km in february this year, cleaned out the EGR once and since then it runs like new, has 517.000km now and keeps on rollin
Quite interesting (and often forgotten) is that Fiat also made a 5-cylinder diesel that featured in a number of Alfa Romeos from the mid-2000s. In my opinion, nothing beats a five pot diesel, and I love mine in my D3 C30.
Friend of mine drives a Alfa Romeo 159 with the 2.4 liter 5 zylinder engine. Has currently 300'000 km on it and had no big problems. Same as my C30 D5, but with half the Mileage.
My 2014 XC60 D5 is probably the best all round car I’ver owned. Good economy, plenty of power, superb comfort and convenience and handles very well for an SUV - delighted! Would love to drop one in my old 240 😎
We have a 2011 XC90 D5 with the 200 bhp version of the engine. Coming up on 180,000 miles and we still tow 1.5 tonnes with it several times a month. Doesn’t use oil or coolant, and the torque is brilliant. MOT smoke emissions below measurable levels for the past 2 tests. And very easy and logical to work on. Proper bit of engineering!
I've had a S70 with the 5 cyl Audi/VW TDI Audi used in their 2.5 A6 diesels back in the days and then I had a 2004 V70 D5 and both where amazing engines.
Love my euro 3 d5 v70 manual. Done everything possible to the car its 2003 with 112k miles just keeps going. I'm like you I change my oil very often. I've got a map on mine. The best thing I've done it's only little is change all intercooler/ turbo hoses cause after a map they where collapsing bad. Oh and new engine mounts + blanked the egr and cleaned the inlet manifold
I had a Volvo S60 163bhp few years ago. Now I have an Alfa Romeo 159 2.4 jtdm. People don't believe me when I say to them how the two cars are similar. The only thing I miss about the Volvo is the seats. They are the best.
Maintenance, that's the key. Change the oil regularly and the thing will look after itself . Find its faults and be aware of when they can fail. I had my auxiliary belt and timingbelt changed with new tensioners and pulleys, everyone of the pulleys were like new but piece of mind for the future, clutch is next, £1000 job but hey ho.
I'v owned around 20 cars in my life. Some quite expensive and new some old and all in between. Got fed up with all the problems with new hybrid cars so I bought my 2010 year D5 V70, driven 450K km with 4000 euros couple of months ago. So far been more reliable than new cars i'v had.
I have two 5 cylinder turbo diesel, one 156 SW 2.4Jtd 150hp and a V60 r design 2.0 163hp, both with a beautiful sound(for a diesel) and good performance 👌🥰 Alfa Romeo used the 2.4Jtd, since 1998 until 2008, and it was one of the most reliable Engine build by theme.
Here is 2010 XC60 2.4 D5 205hp biturbo with Aisin transmission and Haldex Gen4. Engine is so good, with a lot of power and torque and a lot of tuning potential but Aisin transmission limited torque on 450Nm. That's enough but that engine is real monster. Mine doesn't have swirl flaps, but manifold gasket is weak point, I already changed one. Change original A5B5 oil every 10-12k km, clean EGR and MAF/MAP sensors and very important thing is to clean area between AC and coolant radiators... The dust between them can cause a serious problems to engine because a plenty P3 models doesn't have preinstalled coolant temperature indicator...
Audi were the pioneer's of this engine the volvo 850 adopted the 5 cylinder tdi engine from the tdi 140 audi a6 it was identical other than in the transverse configuration. And volvo just ran and ran with this engine and later versions of it. Great engine if looked after. Nowhere near as economical as the early 850 models but still not bad. In my old 850 me and a friend set the cruise control to around 60ish from cornwall to Bristol and we pulled 68mpg on a run.
I had to sell my S80 D5 to Latvia, cause I had massive problems with the engine. Lost lots of money. Now I own a S80 T6 AWD and I'm lucky with it. Higher consumption but a very smooth engine. In Germany, many D5 owners of 2010 or 2011 models had trouble with head gaskets and engine blocks.
I have this 'variation of engine' in my 2013 V60 D3 - 2.0 5 cylinder - lovely sounding thing, and even more low stressed than the 2.4 twin turbo - currently on 102,000 miles, hope to have it way past 200,000 miles.
I've got a D5 in my XC70. Not the most economical engine but it's totally reliable. Accelerate hard and it's music to my ears. By the way, there is a marine version of the D5 - just a bit of useless information.
I have not long bought a 2008 V50 2.4 D5 180 with 175,000 miles. So far it has been nothing but problems. I really hope that once the new turbo, lower arms, air conditioning compressor, new shocks and springs it will be a good car. I can but hope! Very informative and helpful video by the way, thank you.
@@adisl6659 I bought a bad one sadly. But all fixed now. The D5 engines go on forever if well maintained (sadly mine wasn't, a real con man sold it to me) The 1.6D and 2.0D are Peugeot/Ford engines that are not as reliable as Volvos own D5 engine. They go incredibly well and very good MPG. You do have to be a bit careful speed wise as the D5 will pull easily to 100+ mph without you knowing it.
@@Leo-the-lion1974 thanks for the reply, well i always wanted to buy a 2.4 D5 Volvo now i can buy it with 200k Km so ( 124.274Miles i think ) but i am really a careful driver, i dont do crazy stuff because i have a newborn and a wife right now so the v50 is perfect because i owned one the 1.6 d2... but i really hope that the 2.4 will be good and wont let me down i will try to see to do full inspection.
@@adisl6659 Good luck with your buy. As long as it has a good amount of service history then you should be good to go. Congratulations on your newborn!
The v40/50 are known to be trash. Don't know why that is but it's true. Same thing goes for the old 850, rumor has its got 850 problems. Get a v/xc70/60 and you're set.
I have a v50 d5 sport wagon,last 4 years now, 2010,6speed,50mpg on motorway, 40mpg around town, comfortable heated leather and acceleration on tap. Ncap 5,and I like the ignition key in the top part of dash. Weakness for me are front wheel bearing failure, coil springs, and boot floor isn't flat when you drop rear seat. Apart from that it's been a totally reliable car, and when you boot it it's got a good sound 😁.
@@adisl6659 SE Lux is special edition version, I. E can have satnav,trip computer, different wheels/suspension, leather seats, chrome/alloy roof rails, towbar etc
Hi, great video😄 I'm looking at buying a S70 2010 with 190ks on it in Australia. It has this engine. What should I look out for when buying in of there?? Any pertinent questions I should ask?? TIA 😊
Make sure cambelt has been done or budget an extra £500 to have it done. Check for oil in the coolant which could suggest the head gasket has gone. When the car is running open the oil cap, if smoke comes out that's a sign the PCV system needs fixing. Not a desperate thing but good for bringing down the price :) also check the shock absorbers! If it has the same rear shock absorbers as mine you could be look at £550 per rear shock. Make sure there is no white or blue smoke and make sure the transmission shifts OK when cold.
I have just bought an old 2010 V60 D5 with 83k miles on the clock and doing next week the cambelt as peace of mind but still thinking about this gearbox's oil (6speed Geartronic) I have no idea if the car ever had any gearbox service in the past, the history is vague. It has to service stamps regularly but no details of what they have actually done...
Mine too. Ive do an injector leak test an it have no really bad results. Run smoothly like a clock on an automatic transmission. Oil changes every 9 k miles not the 18 that volvo prescribed.
It's not all roses with these! The drilling for the oil gallery terminates behind the flywheel, on early engines this is sealed with a rubber, yes rubber coated steel plug, in time oil rots the rubber, the plug is pushed out along with all the engine oil! Volvo now supply an upgrade, the same plug but without any rubber coating. Ignore the serpentine belt at your peril, should an old one snap, there is a very good chance it will be drawn into the cam belt, with the usual disastrous consequences! Apart from these inherent manufacturing faults, I would agree with you, why else would Ford have bought Volvo, stealing this engine design, then selling Volvo onto the Chinese? Other common (on early) V70 faults: Rubbish ignition switch, the diecast aluminium breaks, jamming the switch Rear handbrake shoes that de-laminate, lock the wheel up and breaking the aluminium hub carrier£££'s Intercoolers that blow out the bottom 2 or 3 rows of airways Drivers instrument modules, a chip becomes dry jointed
2011 s60 215bhp auto lux never use the radio! a real sleeper, sport mode more than enough 40 mpg regular oil/filter service Trans oil service plus Map/Maf sensor clean is key
Question: I got s60 '11 plate, it is sweating around intake pipe, right between engine and case close to turbo heat cover clamp... It is dirty stuff there... But motor runs fine. Any idea? 4.04 -index finger nearly pointed intake hose
Great engine but if any of the belts fail including the little ac compressor belt the engine can be destroyed as happened to my interference-type engine one belt lies loose and takes out the others mine even ripped out the water pump and made a large hole in the casing
Ah OK, my d5 is ex Authorities and is 480nm and can apparently take more but was a bit worried when you said 450 limit. I love it, I use it as a response vehicle and its amazing
The D5 with 163hp it’s a completly different engine, much more economic (5L/100km) and the acceleration it’s faster than the 185hp which consumption is 7L/100km. I have both engines on V70 from 2002 and a V70 from 2009
@@felipeandres3987 no its the d5 engines 205 and up, however the d4 AWD and D3 AWD is still the same engine as the 205HP after 2010 one just lower boost
The D5 engine came from a time JUST before Ford purchase them. Volvo take their 5 cylinder petrol engine and convert it to a diesel engine using good quality components and SIMPLE design. You look at original Euro 3 D5 engine bay... there is no swirl flaps, there is no throttle valve, there is no DPF. You get 163 BHP and an engine with strong in-gear performance and a good noise... Normally diesel engine sound like shit.
Thermostat is easy to change but you do have to cut away the part of the bracket that supports the alternator power steering pump and the air con compressor just for the sake of that bolt at the bottom of the housing but its no big deal and a poor design by volvo turning a relatively easy job into a big job 🤔
Volvo did use a VW/Audi 2.5 5 cylinder diesel but that was in the 90s. The D5 is Volvos own design, but I would be surprised if they copied some stuff from the VW unit. Are all the automatics unreliable? There afew different gearboxes they come with, I know the ford powershift gearbox was crap but not many of them have that. Most have an Aisin gearbox and Volvo call it geartronic for some reason.
No the D5 is all in house Volvo and they made them for a long time. The 6 Speed Automatics are pretty solid BUT the 5 Speed boxes are pretty weak. The transmission manufacturer (Aisin Warner) discontinued the 5 speed in favor their new much improved 6 speed design. I think that transmission is still made today to a degree and its called the AWTF-80 SC.
no its not, Piston failures head failures, most vea engines use 1-1.5 L of oil between services i think we have changed pistons on like 10-15 cars this year using vea engines
My only issue with getting a D5, it's so silly but the 2.4i s40 almost outperforms it, if you don't get the best version of the D5.. I could be wrong but won't you need the 185bhp to compete with the 2.4i 170bhp? If I have a turbo, I want to feel it, I don't want an N/A cousin to be able to keep up 😂

2011 s60 2.4 bi turbo here, a well serviced car will give you miles and smiles
Brilliant
whatever you do, check the aux belt tensioner alignment. it can throw the belt, which can wrap around crank pulley and break timing belt.
Mercedes e class (w124) also had a 5cil. Diesel engine … among other engines …
D5 is bulletproof easily tune to 400 hk 🥳

Euro3 163bhp D5 on Bosch injectors is the best/Most reliable and economical D5 motor. My 2002 V70 D5 manual gets up to 52 mpg with 236000 miles on it!
Mine too. Ive do an injector leak test an it have no really bad results. Run smoothly like a clock on an automatic transmission. Oil changes every 9 k miles not the 18 that volvo prescribed.
It's not all roses with these!
The drilling for the oil gallery terminates behind the flywheel, on early engines this is sealed with a rubber, yes rubber coated steel plug, in time oil rots the rubber, the plug is pushed out along with all the engine oil!
Volvo now supply an upgrade, the same plug but without any rubber coating.
Ignore the serpentine belt at your peril, should an old one snap, there is a very good chance it will be drawn into the cam belt, with the usual disastrous consequences!
Apart from these inherent manufacturing faults, I would agree with you, why else would Ford have bought Volvo, stealing this engine design, then selling Volvo onto the Chinese?
Other common (on early) V70 faults:
Rubbish ignition switch, the diecast aluminium breaks, jamming the switch

what about siwrl flaps? you mention you are going to clean the intakes and do the service on them
After 2010 no more swirl flaps in 2.4 d5 engines.
Question: I got s60 '11 plate, it is sweating around intake pipe, right between engine and case close to turbo heat cover clamp... It is dirty stuff there... But motor runs fine. Any idea? 4.04 -index finger nearly pointed intake hose
Yeah its a common thing, as long as the car is not losing oil you'll be fine :)
What have you got in your grille? Lights?
Yes amber lights :)
Great engine but if any of the belts fail including the little ac compressor belt the engine can be destroyed as happened to my interference-type engine one belt lies loose and takes out the others mine even ripped out the water pump and made a large hole in the casing
Is the 450nm limit on all auto gearboxes or only the one you mentioned
It is for the TF-80SC, other gearboxes have different ratings :)
Ah OK, my d5 is ex Authorities and is 480nm and can apparently take more but was a bit worried when you said 450 limit. I love it, I use it as a response vehicle and its amazing
Just picked up my C30 D5 manual a week ago.... slightly disappointed with the fuel economy , mid thirties round town and at 80mph on motorway!
178bhp/400nm engine, is that normal consumption?
Mine is using the same
Is this car still running?
It has a twin turbo engine?
Mercedes have done a lot with 5pot diesels just saying not just VW.
audi and alfa romeo aswell

naa. I've just gone from a T5 to a D5. it feels like it aint moving lol.
I'm shocked Americans don't get more of these. Why are there more diesel cars on the American market?
It's was due to America not have low sulphur diesel back then, which is needed for running off high pressure common rail electronic fuel systems.
Nice! This is a VW engine! The problem with these S80, they are lovely cars but the automatic gearbox was unreliable!

You don't know what you talking about... Aisin 6 speed automatic is one of the best...
"now for those of you who know nothing about Volvo at all, you will be very familiar with the D5 engine". Sorry, could you run that past me again?
Очень интересно, но нихрена не понятно...
The vea 4cyl is better except för the sound.
no its not, Piston failures head failures, most vea engines use 1-1.5 L of oil between services i think we have changed pistons on like 10-15 cars this year using vea engines
@@CatManHDGaming yeah you should buy a late 2017 or 2018 model. They have better piston rings
Fiat's 2.4 JTDM is also 5 cylinder and honestly sounds better.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have V70 07 D5 don't know what the HP is but had 130 mph out of the old girl and she sill wanted to give me more,👍
My only issue with getting a D5, it's so silly but the 2.4i s40 almost outperforms it, if you don't get the best version of the D5..
I could be wrong but won't you need the 185bhp to compete with the 2.4i 170bhp?
If I have a turbo, I want to feel it, I don't want an N/A cousin to be able to keep up 😂
The original Volvo 5 cylinder diesel was a VW variant
😂😂😂😂
I love mine V70 p3 2.4 euro 4. Sound is amazing.
