Good to see a lap with a Volvo. Always had a soft spot for them. Really love the design language of Volvo. They have been stepping up their game big time.
Ah, another man of Volvo tuning culture, though we have Elevate oil coolers on our side of the ocean. D088, however, is the intercooler gold standard. Though he should add the d088 airbox, more air flow, but no induction noise and it looks stock. A 3” exhaust would open that T5 up correctly and allow it to exhale.
Finally my favourite brand of "normal" cars , sad it isn't the C70/C30R, or S60 or ofc the beast 850 xD. But whatever Volvo in track always a pleasure to see ^^
I have a V50 T5 AWD 6M. The IAT had to have been over 93 C and the computer pulled a ton of timing. D088 Intercooler or make a custom one from Treadstone should solve it, if the coolant temp was solid. The heat soak on the IC is FRIGHTENING on the T5’s during the summer.
so they're still greedy in the intercooler department? i had a 1997 v70 2.5t awd, that lost a ton of power in hot weather, the car was stock. now i have a 940 with non-standard ecu, still a stock IC, doesn't lose power like the v70 did, having about 250 hp. doesn't seem like a nice trend with volvo.
I wonder if this has anything to do with my old S40 2.4I shitting out at a stoplight. Middle of NC summer, windows down, A/C on max cool, stereo bumping, phone charging, and boom. We ended up replacing the alternator and the battery. Later got into a pileup in the rain that "totaled" the car simply because the cost to replace the cracked radiator was too much. so I guess the first part about the alternator isn't related but reading these comments just brought it all back to me 😢
So nice to see a Volvo on this channel, that 5 Cylinder sound is just so lovley. Would love to see you drive a C70 one day (first gen). I would give you mine but its a bit of a shitbox xD
I can pinpoint the exact spot where I decided to sell my V40 T5R: halfway between Adenauer Forst and Metzgesfeld, where the lone tree is on the left hand side (04:47) - car decided it was a bit to much traffic, did an emergency brake and called Volvo assistance thankyouverymuch. Luckily, the folks behind me reacted swiftly, so there was no Kaltverformung. But I warned the buyer to not take it to the Ring.
@@newsama I could write a book about all the software bugs that this car comes with. Starts with the car refusing to back out of my driveway because I haven't cut the grass in a while, satnav confusing left and right, to bringing me and others into potentially life-threatening situations because it thinks it is really smart but isn’t.
I have a T5 AWD 2.5 268 hp / 450 Nm (HEICO perfomance pack) and it seems to run a lot smoother than this, so not sure what's the issue here, but take a good look at it. Maybe the map? HEICO installs a whole seperate device to control everything and it works so smooth I totally recommend it.
The platform under these cars is really good when set up right. They're Volvos but they can handle. I don't think this was making more than stock power but the engine is very tuneable - but needs at bare minimum a bigger intercooler and oil cooler before you go on track. No doubt the limp mode was temperature related and a good thing it happened because both IATs and oil temps can be dangerously high on the stock items. There's no way this car is making 340bhp, and 430nm would be low for a 340bhp 5 cylinder. I would guess that this car is stock powerwise at 260hp. I have a C30 T5 which is the predecessor to the V40 and very closely related in terms of the chassis, but with a sportier body and less electronic nannies. Manual, makes 316bhp/384lbft, on BC coilovers with pretty much everything suspension related uprated, 6 piston wilwoods up front and Mk3 RS on the rear, and fat 255 wide R888Rs. It's really good fun and will surprise a lot of people. I compete in club motorsport and usually wipe the floor with most of the tin top cars.
Volvo t5 (5cylinder engine) were my favourite regardless in any chassis... This one just need slightly sportier exhaust and maybe tcu remap...it will be a whole lot more fun... 😘💪 Hopgin for more volvo t5 content in future
A real FIVE cylinder Volvo T5 is always nice! A V40 T5 is quite similar to a Focus ST, and if you want a better front axle, an LSD, proper cooling, quicker steering and Recaro seats, just buy a Focus RS from 2009-10 and enjoy the drama and the lack of depreciation.
Yeah £30k to go no faster than my £6k C30, with a crappy interior sounds great. I know the RS is a good car but you could put all the above in the C30 for less than half the price.
@@mcgherkinstudios I know an RS in the UK is around £30k, which isn't exactly cheap. Where I live you can get a decent RS for the equivalent of £20k, including a stage 1 mapping pushing 350 hp and 500 Nm and a crappy interior included. The seats are excellent though.
I am not surprised it got hot and flustered being caned around the Ring in 30c ambient temperatures and without cooling mods. The transmission is the exact same one as used by BMW in the early M135i XDrive (2.0T) before they moved to a DCT. It's pretty decent but significantly better after a RICA TCU map, who are one of the few companies to offer a TCU map for the 8 speed Aisin Warner transmission. The same transmission in a Polestar is also much better but I still think the RICA TCU has the edge as it shifts much faster and the map can be purchased independently of any ecu upgrade. Even with a standard car I would recommend the RICA TCU. Like most cars, the V40 T5 really needs some cooling upgrades (intercooler and oil cooler) if it's going to be used on track, especially during the hot summer months. Nice daily!
Aaaaaa a Volvo t5. Love that sound. Hammering and pounding all the time. Because it looks soft and mellow it seems slow, but this car is really fast!! To bad for the inlet temp they ruin the power. A do88 intercooler would solve mostly this problem I guess
finally a volvo.. tho one with a slushbox. in winter i was able to outrun them with a 116HP 240 lol. they just did not get the power to the ground and the box destroyed all power control. the slushbox rely kills that engine's performance. might be the box getting hot. it need some oilcoolers. the engine have a water to oil cooler on the back of the oil pan. that's it for the engine i think.
@@IwillBwaiting well. as you have FWD and problems modulating the power to the ground AND (both from the turbo and from the gearbox) a traction control system that will kill your engine it is hard to get the power to the ground. yes with a lot of experience you can do it. at that time i had a lot of experience with the RWD volvo ;) and i was not able to get all of my power to the ground moste of the time ether. even 116HP+ engine was more then the traction let you use before your at higher speed's. before then you need to get thru the corners as well ;)
@@IwillBwaiting ahh yes. i had the 2.3L version of that engine. i was talking about the T5 (with 360hp) sorry. the 240 have proven to be a better platform for racing here in Scandinavia then the volvo 360 was. especially a modified 242 ;) the stock 360 and the stock 240 might be real equal on snow and ice. the 360 might have some better initial grip if you have the one with the rear mounted manual gearbox ;)
Though mine is only a t4 plus, I would drive like a lunatic, letting the rear slide a little bit. But I live in hong kong, can access only some twisty mountain roads. glad to see you getting the most out of the t5 at nurburgring
It’s great. I had one in CC trim (so a little higher and AWD) and it was a fun car to drive. I’m sure this one with lower CG and more power would be even better ! The seats were very comfy !
I can tell you what a V40 D3 CC 6Auto is like. 5cyl diesel has plenty of power (though mine has probably been tuned by the previous owner to 200HP), the 6 speed Aisin auto is fine for daily driving, shifts are perfectly fine. Mine is a 2014 model so no paddle shifters. Tranny has a max torque limit of 450Nm which is already where min is probably at so no more tuning. Manual should hold more. Sachs makes a clutch kit for 700Nm+ for this engine if you plan on going bonkers. Seats are really comfortable, seat heating takes a while to start heating probably because of full leather seats. Top speed around 210km/h, limit and all that crap, have to unrestrict it yet, at that speed RPM‘s are around 3.5k-4k. Revs to 5k so I guess without a limiter 250+ is doable. All in all, great daily driver, some sporty backroad driving can be done with some fun although not on All-Seasons 😅
I would want to see a C30 T5 tuned and with aero. havent seen a real one like that yet and would be great to see one on the track (Or build myself, but need to know so much more before I guess)
@@JakubWojtkowiak cool man! Literally the best tuneable car with the T5, the least weight and biggest engine. What did you have to pay for it? Is it stock?
@@assarstromblad3280 it was around 7k euro (bought in Poland). I’ve changed suspension to bilstein b6, bigger brakes, thats all for now. I’m planning some exhaust, maybe front strut, but its my only car so nothing crazy for now. Though if someday I’ll be able to afford it, I’d love to make it a crazy yet tasteful project car (4wd and stuff)
According to other comments it was probably turbo intercooler getting too hot and computer delaying timing to protect the engine because intake air was getting too hot. It's interesting that there were no warnings or indicators in the dash about this, though.
You can illegally remove the speed limiter, also its not because they don't want you to have fun, it's because safety is the most important factor for them.. if you don't care about safety, that's kinda sad, most car companies are putting on a speed limiter
best mod would be to manuel swapping that car because the transmission is really bad in those. overall lovely car but the transmission kills all the fun imho.
The transmission isn’t too bad. It’s not perfect, but when using the car for daily driving it’s good enough. Double clutch S-Tronic I had wasn’t much better.
So a 140-170hp car pulls the same as a 300hp car you're saying? They have roughly the same weight. Maybe going up and downhill on the track blurred your vision or you are just very happy with the performance of your car (wat ik kan begrijpen, ik ben ook een fan) but it is different if you are driving yourself or watching someone driving.
@@IwillBwaiting 140hp is slower. Mine is tuned to about 180hp (170+10). I just think this one overheated and did not make the amount of hp it should. It is also possible I did not notice how much slower it is uphill. Edit: I never pushed my car on a track, only a few times on the Autobahn.
@@goedendag5335 I would suspect it's probably around the stock power mark throughout as it appears to have the same pace even at the very start of the lap coming out of the cones - it's slightly slower as that part's uphill but throughout the first half of the lap I would say it's somewhere in the 250 range which is stock
Keeps impressive if a standard car can make a lap with Misha behind the wheel. aren't it the brakes then there will be another problem in general. The more impressive is an I30N
@@davidcarvalho8067 that... doesn't make a lot of sense. Volvo and Ford were sharing parts at that time. The 5cyl is made by Volvo and is also in the Focus.
There's no way this car has 344hp. This is a 5-Cyl 210hp stock. I had a V40 T5 Drive-e engine, 245hp stock, and with downpipe, ECU remap, BMC filter and gearbox remap, barely reaches 300hp.
He said it’s around 300 bhp, not 344. Probably sounded like he said that but he mentioned the torque which is 430 Nm. Also it’s 254 bhp stock, I don’t have a clue where you got 210 from.
@@thomasvanestrik depends on which country, Volvo has 2 models of 5-cyl engines. 2.5 litre Volvo B525 I5 which produces 254 hp or 2.0 litre I5 (B5204T9) with 210hp.
T5's always have around 245-250hp in the V40 model, no matter 2.5 liter or 2.0 liter. 210hp engine was only for another model 2003-2009 (S60) with 2.5 liter. He does mention 300hp for his car but stumbles at the torque numbers but rectifies ( 0:58 )and says 430Nm.
@@IwillBwaitingSecond Gen V40s equipped with the B5204T9 engine (2.0L Inline 5) from before the facelift (2013 - 2015) had 210 HP on select markets. Not sure if this engine was ever available in UK and most of Europe, though.
Эти моторы B5254 любят умирать от перегрева и трещин в блоке, случаев достаточно, хотя Ford st и RS старые как-то катаются. Мотор звук дает хороший, но лёгкой мощности, как с 1.8 2.0 TSI, от него не получить.

My mom has got a V40 T3 since october 2012 and its still goes like a dream we only had some minor issues with a door lock error
I can tell you what a V40 D3 CC 6Auto is like. 5cyl diesel has plenty of power (though mine has probably been tuned by the previous owner to 200HP), the 6 speed Aisin auto is fine for daily driving, shifts are perfectly fine. Mine is a 2014 model so no paddle shifters. Tranny has a max torque limit of 450Nm which is already where min is probably at so no more tuning. Manual should hold more. Sachs makes a clutch kit for 700Nm+ for this engine if you plan on going bonkers.
Seats are really comfortable, seat heating takes a while to start heating probably because of full leather seats.
Top speed around 210km/h, limit and all that crap, have to unrestrict it yet, at that speed RPM‘s are around 3.5k-4k. Revs to 5k so I guess without a limiter 250+ is doable.

The 2.5 turbo should be a lot quicker then my S40 2.4, but somehow it does not look like it is, at least not between 100 and 150 kph.
So a 140-170hp car pulls the same as a 300hp car you're saying? They have roughly the same weight. Maybe going up and downhill on the track blurred your vision or you are just very happy with the performance of your car (wat ik kan begrijpen, ik ben ook een fan) but it is different if you are driving yourself or watching someone driving.
@@IwillBwaiting 140hp is slower. Mine is tuned to about 180hp (170+10). I just think this one overheated and did not make the amount of hp it should. It is also possible I did not notice how much slower it is uphill.
Edit: I never pushed my car on a track, only a few times on the Autobahn.
It’s definitely slower. My car at 316 will do 100-150 in 4 seconds, this takes more like 6-7
@@mcgherkinstudios Wich mean it is possible this car makes about 180-220 hp because of the heat in some parts of this video?
@@goedendag5335 I would suspect it's probably around the stock power mark throughout as it appears to have the same pace even at the very start of the lap coming out of the cones - it's slightly slower as that part's uphill but throughout the first half of the lap I would say it's somewhere in the 250 range which is stock
you can say it is 5cyl by how it sounds)
Clutch was slipping when changing gear at the redline
the white Porsche was blazing.....also a nice Volvo :^)
R5 turbo in the back ! 0:40
Why not drive more volvos? 960 6 cylinder or V70 I from 1999? Volvo 440?
Keeps impressive if a standard car can make a lap with Misha behind the wheel. aren't it the brakes then there will be another problem in general. The more impressive is an I30N
Je geeft gewoon te veel gas jonge!😉
So are both T4 and T5 from 2013 (Ford) engines reliable or ?? Thank you for any hints.. 😊
Yes they're are
Only T5 is 5 cyl Volvo reliable engine, the T4 is Ford i guess
@@вованчиксT5 from 2014 is 4-cyl Volvo VEA engine.,
I'm afraid that at the end of the lap, the Model lost its "T" and it's now a "5" 🙄
Greeting from México! 🙋♂️
Buenos nachos
Misha I will bring my S60 T5 expolice car :), I done 280k mileage but it's pulling like a train ;).
Misha, you can have my Volvo. All I ask is one lap one!
Probably gearbox is to hot and power is reduced.
SAAB ON THE RING???
It has 250 horsepower?
RIMAC ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG
Also sad you had to drive the slush box and not the manual! The manual is much much better!
A manual V40 T5 does not exist..
@@thomasvanestrik I’m aware lol, I meant a manual V40 in general not specifically the T5.
Dat speed? Hanging out with to much dutchies yet again
Me Volvo ❤
Brakes from a Focus mk3.🤔
Yes the brembo brakes that are stock on the rs MK3
basically a ford focus :)
no, since it's a volvo engine.
@@davidcarvalho8067 that... doesn't make a lot of sense. Volvo and Ford were sharing parts at that time. The 5cyl is made by Volvo and is also in the Focus.
There's no way this car has 344hp. This is a 5-Cyl 210hp stock. I had a V40 T5 Drive-e engine, 245hp stock, and with downpipe, ECU remap, BMC filter and gearbox remap, barely reaches 300hp.
He said it’s around 300 bhp, not 344. Probably sounded like he said that but he mentioned the torque which is 430 Nm. Also it’s 254 bhp stock, I don’t have a clue where you got 210 from.
@@thomasvanestrik depends on which country, Volvo has 2 models of 5-cyl engines. 2.5 litre Volvo B525 I5 which produces 254 hp or 2.0 litre I5 (B5204T9) with 210hp.
T5's always have around 245-250hp in the V40 model, no matter 2.5 liter or 2.0 liter.
210hp engine was only for another model 2003-2009 (S60) with 2.5 liter.
He does mention 300hp for his car but stumbles at the torque numbers but rectifies ( 0:58 )and says 430Nm.
@@IwillBwaitingSecond Gen V40s equipped with the B5204T9 engine (2.0L Inline 5) from before the facelift (2013 - 2015) had 210 HP on select markets. Not sure if this engine was ever available in UK and most of Europe, though.
The car has not the power it should from the beginning. Something is wrong with the engine.
Volvo, really nice cars, but the turbo ones… if you drive them hard for a while something always happens😂
Pretty sure thats < 300hp.
Yes, that's right. it is roughly 250 horses.
@@worldhello1234it has roughly 250 stock but this car does not look stock
Indeed it has a custom remap, but the heat and the Nurburgring had different plans that day so it was low on power
Bro u need off traction control..
T5 4 cil is more competitive
My mom has got a V40 T3:)
😍🎉🎉
goals
It seems like its heavy and not so direct, slow on shifting and not so confidental to drive.
nobody notice the Z in the background??? 💔💔💔
nicee
For that power in my opinion is slow
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
you really need to do something about that tired T5 engine. other than that. it was cool to see :)
Выпусти пожалуйста обучающий ролик, как нужно себя вести на гоночном треке. Что нужно делать в случае аварии? Если сломалась машина? И т.п и т.д
Oh dear. Great driving but disappointing performance from the car
Had to turn it off early, hideous gearbox, rubbish suspension, not a fan.
car seems to get underpowered probably because of temps.
misha proceeds to try to slam it and push every gear anyway...
Эти моторы B5254 любят умирать от перегрева и трещин в блоке, случаев достаточно, хотя Ford st и RS старые как-то катаются. Мотор звук дает хороший, но лёгкой мощности, как с 1.8 2.0 TSI, от него не получить.
