in my quest to find what benefits I'm getting from my " improved " d5 engine I've just googled this
http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews...e-1003111.html
now according to this volvo were out to improve mpg with the 185 engine, I think they went wrong somewhere , and it has "massive " torque at 1750 rpm, well I can believe that, my geartronic gearbox wont touch the engine between tickover and 2000 rpm if I put my foot down ! fear of damage I suspect , I'm wondering now if the improved d5 engine was aimed at lighter models !
