Swapping a D5 Euro 4 for a Euro 5
I need a new engine in my XC90. The cause is talked to death elsewhere.
Does anyone know about or have any constructive thoughts about, fitting a later version D5 (Euro 5)? I am told they are more economical, so just wondered what might be involved or whether it's even possible without too extensive modifications? |

If it were upto me I would fit the normal Euro 4. The Euro 5 will only give 15BHp more and do 5mpg more so not worth the potential headache. |

My hope is that opening it up may open up the potential donor register. Due to so many less miles being travelled, fewer accidents are happening which means fewer donors. |

Never had any dealings with evolve/sewedeserve. Thoughts? Experiences? |
Evolve are just down the road from me, found them helpful in the past.
Would you even get a E5 engine running with E4 management? |
Would the gearbox mate up?
I would go like-for-like or consider changing the car. |
The issue I was thinking is are you not better to just buy a Euro4 car and swap the engine. You could then brake the old Euro 4 and make more money on it.
Also... Euro 4 XC90s are not worth a great deal are they? Is it not worth parting yours out then buying a new one? |
