Fantastic engine, have a 63 plate 215bhp version and is fantastic especially with a manual.Pulls strongly from 1500 all the way to 5k with great 5 cylinder roar. 115k and no issues.
Really useful and interesting video 😊 I've just bought a 2010 XC70 with this exact engine, and I can agree with everything you said about its performance and economy. It's silky smooth at speed and the power delivery is nice an linear.
Greetings from Spain, at home we have a 2010 xc60 with 470,000 km (almost 300,000 miles) without any problem so far other than an EGR cleaning. They are very reliable engines.
Further - mine has reasonable pull in low gears from 1150 rpm, with a bit of a kick at 1350, then is really strong from 1750 all the way to the re-mapped red line at 4,800, pretty linear as it happens. It would red line with ease before, so was never a slouch. I do believe that some engines are just 'good' engines from the factory, and there can be duffers too. I was a mechanic for many years and always had decent gut feeling for was is and what isn't a good car. Last car? A 940 diesel (VW 6 pot re-worked by Volvo, only 122 ps but lovely surge from 2,500 rpm to red line at 5K (3 and 6 pot engines are naturally revvy with standard crank and firing order). Never missed a beat until I sold it at 20 years/252K, still running, fully MOT-ed. Best mpg was 47 on long runs, but that was old technology, the diesel 6 cylinder was a converted petrol lump in essence. That was the cheapest car I ever owned, almost nothing broke in all twenty years of its life, just one track rod end, one bottom swivel, and one alternator, and one clutch change. I wish I could say the same of the V70, which tends to wear front end parts due to all that weight. And oil-filled engine mounts? Didn't need them before, so why now. Just asking (-;)~ But I do love my V70, what an effortless way to eat miles, and I love belting it a bit too, no sign of the front end breaking away even on the cheap rubber - 225/45/17 but wish they were 16s for ride comfort, though the 225s do stick well - I use. The roads in NW Scotland are legendarily harsh, and pot holes? Oh yes! So I don't spend over £100 a corner when £50-60 will do nicely. Apologies for droning on - nice to talk though! Cheers
I’ve got a 2012 xc70 with the 215bhp engine. Did a 4k mile holiday trip to europe. Boot fully loaded, 4 people. Mixed driving going from 140mph on German motorways to city and even some unpaved roads. Over the whole 4k distance I got 37mpg. Now mainly use it in city and get 23mpg. DPF is only 15% blocked. Best thing about this engine is that it doesn’t have the swirl flap system so no egr issues. Torque is more than enough but I’m looking at engine optimisation with D5T5 software and that’ll bring the numbers to 240bhp and 440nm. Basically the same as Polestar upgrade but 3x cheaper. Want to compare fuel economy/performance before and after.
How do you know this, "DPF is only 15% blocked" ?
@@conradtaggart9959 readings from Delphi scanner, and also Vida.
Did you go with the D5T5 map?
Dual turbo makes a diesel behave like a petrol engine. Small turbo in d5 blows from low rpm , and the big one engages from around 1750rpm. This allows a diesel engine to deliver the torque in a lot wider range of rpms.
T5 is the best

Give me a good old dipstick any day. Part of the ( probably now old fashioned ) at least monthly checks we should all be doing on our cars. Unless you're well-heeled enough to just pay for expensive repairs... but then if you are well-heeled you probably wont buy older cars like these in the first place ;)
Like Juris i also have a 2012 XC70 with the Twin Turbo 215 BHP engine so your original statement of 2012 in your video was correct other than that you do make good vids to watch i too added the manual dipstick after seeing your video on the subject . I get just over 48 mpg on a long run but i do have the 6 speed Manual transmission version around town and local hops brings it down to around 35 mpg still miles better than my old 2001 XC70 in Auto Petrol guise that thing drank like a fish 18 MPG on local runs and only 27 MPG on a long run
Is every 2012 xc70 with 215 bhp twin turbo?
Stage 1 will give you extra 55hp and 100nm. My 185ps S80 been mapped but not a massive gains and the car still feels heavy and slow but yours should move quite well with 260bhp snd 520nm after stage 1👌
Aisin auto gearboxes for these cars are only made to handle 450nm so have to be careful with remaps promissing big torque increases.
My 2007 P26 V70 d5 185 gets easy 60+ mpg on a long run. Some items on the engine have been added for power/efficiency, some things removed as all the do/did was clog up the engine with greasy black groty yukky stuff.
Mines a 6 speed manual.
Its 225bhp, more torque than any diesel I've ever driven.
Should my car die, I'll go find another P26 d5. The later twin turbo ones are a money pit waiting to happen and seem to be near 30% less fuel efficient.
Newer does not mean better in the road.
Thanks for all your videos. I have picked up a lot of D5 info from them. It may be a silly question but if you fit a manual dipstick, does the electronic one still work? Also, the level on mine never seems to move from the middle mark - even after a 100 mile trip, the level is the same when the engine is turned off and next morning when the oil shouldhave settled.Did you notice this?
yes mate it still works :) they aren't very sensitive to changes :)
I love my 2006 fwd manual v70s turbolag
🤪
It's actually a dual stage turbo, or bi-turbo engine!!! I got the same one in my 2009. XC60.
Ceramic glowplugs and piezo injectors instead of solenoid.
Guys, I'm thinking of joining the Volvo gang and I want to buy a petrol engine. I'm currently looking at a 1.6 T4. The reason is, I drive 80% in city, so I don't really need the hungrier and bigger engines.
Can anyone share some info or recommendations? It'd be much appreciated.
Hi. If 45mpg is about right, how come my 140,000 mile 2007 (but really a 2006) V70 D5 163 PS (mild re-map to 200 HP) easily does 50+ on a run, best ever 57 mpg, and worst ever 40 mpg (and I live in the wilds with only hilly, bendy roads, many miles from any longer, straighter stuff), AVERAGE 45 mpg? Later D5s produce worse mpg than the earlier Euro 3 engines as they are more regulated for emissions than ever, and fuel economy suffers accordingly. Admittedly mine suffers from huge lag, but it is possible to adjust driving style for this, though the resulting and unavoidably 'aggressive' method of gear change with foot-to-floor with only the slightest lift for changes feels hard on the aging vehicle (not so much the engine, which feels unburstable), particularly the clutch. And you know how much a dual mass flywheel would be to change (it cost £850 just to change the clutch components at about 90K, not inc. flywheel. Fortunately DMFs don't seem to be a thing with these models - anybody had any experience with this?). Btw - my engine uses zero oil between annual/10K changes, again not something most can say of later engines. I like a car that can keep all of its oil between not cheap 6.5 l changes of the 0W-30 fully synthetic brands (I know, people still quibble about 5W-30 vs 0W-30, esp. as the 5W-30s are that bit cheaper, but I have always used the 0W-30 as it can be super-cold in winter where I live. Anything that gives the internals a slightly easier time on start/warm up is alright in my book).
@@STIGu1993 I couldn’t agree more - it always makes me laugh when you read, usually on Volvo owners forums, that they only get 27 or 33 or whatever to the gallon from an XC 90 which they drive at 90 on the motorway, and push around pretty hard, and all on an auto gearbox. I mean, you really can’t have everything! But I do still believe that some engines just seem to be put together particularly well, and the subject of oil consumption or not, is not necessarily related to driving style, but the particular engine. But hell, I’m in my 60s now, so I’m not that interested in driving hard most of the time. On a 600 mile run down the motorways to visit my kids, 60 miles an hour on cruise control and 55+ to the gallon is a no-brainer. When you consider the state of the traffic on most motorways in the UK, a great deal of the time, trying to drive at 70+ means you are doing a lot more exellerating and slowing down, so the mpg suffers accordingly. When you get to my age you definitely become more patient, and whether a 600 mile journey takes 11 hours or 12 hours is pretty academic. State of the planet? Emissions under most driving conditions all depends on how heavy your right foot is. If I drive hard and pay a 20-30% penalty in fuel consumption, that produces considerably more than 30% more gaseous emissions of all kinds, plus soot of course. Like all things in life, you pays your money and takes your choice, and every vehicle is a compromise. Choose your compromises well and you won’t be disappointed. By the way, thanks for reply, always good to chew the fat.
Hi! What is the difference between the 2.4 D5 EURO5 and the 2.4 D5 EURO6 engines?
The euro 6 is essentially the same engine except it has 10more horsepower and gets better fuel economy. It was also mated to an 8 spd auto transmission versus the 6spd auto of the Euro 5. From the top of my head I think injectors are slightly different to make the engine more efficient and the engine is remapped to optimise fuel economy and power :)
@@drivelife.channel Thank you for you qick answere. I am interested in a V60 D6 and I doticed that after 2015 they are Euro6 and before they are Euro5. That's why I asked this ... Thank you! Also, I think that the Euro 6 version has the same gearbox as the Euro5 ... 6spd. The most important to me is that they are not using ADBLUE ... 😁
Brilliant
S80 ll arent that heavy ( 2ton. )
The Curb is Weight :1645 kg OR 3627 lbs for the D5 model.
Why did the xc90 d5 200bhp only come with a single turbo?
I had the 2003 v70 d5 163bhp which is a bigger heavier car and on a run it would easily hit 70mpg round the doors it would be 34mpg so for you to say this newer twin turbo is more efficient is just not true
Anyone tried fitting the twin turbo to an older single turbo D5?
