For context to my previous post - a 2 litre 5 pot (badged D4) in a 2011 V50 put out 175bhp and 400Nm torque, whilst a D3 of the same era ran 148bhp / 350Nm. Hard to understand why Volvo ran so many different power outputs from the same engine at the same time.
But then, early BMW 1 series diesels had exactly the same engine in from base 116 through 118, 120 to 123, just changing the tune to provide outputs from 114bhp to 201bhp...
