Bob,
Don't forget the 900s which came with the D24Tic post '93, before that presumably the D24T or ?D24. We can agree to leave out those 900s equipped with the 5 cylinder motor as they were so rare presumably there are none left.

The D24 is a 6 cylinder a big heavy cast iron engine !

Hi.
To my knowledge the 900 series never had any of the 5 cylinder units installed.

[jor]

Neither did I till - I bought a few bits from a chap in Wales, whose motor had blown and who had grabbed what he could before the truck came to tow it away. The car had belonged to his dad, who bought it new in the U.K. Obviously I was keen to have a look at the documentation and handbook, but they were gone. Genuine chap though, he was reluctant to scrap the car ( I presumed that his dad had died) but a pulley had seized smashing the crank and it wasn't an economical proposition for him to source a new engine.
I wonder if anyone in Volvo UK knows how many there were?

I've got a VW engine (2.4 Turbodiesel) in my 940 estate. What one is that from the list?

[JIM C]

Sorry incorrect posting.
Thanks

[jor]

That's either the D24T or the D24Tic. The turbodiesel has 109 hp and the intercooled version 122 hp. I think post 93 cars had the intercooler, which sits in front of the radiator.

just one point ,the 850/S/V70/S80 to 2002 - D5254T Audi Unit should read D5252T.

[dearolddaddy]

I have a diesel 940 estate. Being disabled it is perfect for hauling my wheelchair etc. Also the seating is superb with the adjustable lumber support.
I support a section dedicated to diesels. I have searched for some kind of technical book but nothing seems available for this model 93 on.
I have just spent a few hours searching all the FAQ on the 940 but am unsure if I have found the answer as the described fault seems to differ in a small way.
Please advise just what I should open to list my fault to hopefully get an answer.
A brilliant site.

Start a new thread (ie, not a 'Reply' to this thread) on this forum describing the fault and we will see what we can do for you.

Hi everyone.
I've got a little quarry with a friend about the D24TIC.
I'm sure this VW engine is two valve per cylinder, but he stands it's a four valver, and I just can't find the info about it I'm looking for
Can anyone help? Am I right? :Banane59:

Try a read through this, it may help..

The d24 manual shows 6 inlet and 6 exhaust valves. There's an online manual at www.k-jet.org., which is for the non turbo engine.

Hi,
I'm new on here. I'm very interested in buying a Volvo S40 diesel, and in particular I have my eye on a 2003 Sport Lux model. I love the look of the car, but the only thing I'm unsure about is the engine in it. There seem to have been so many different diesel engines utilised by Volvo over the lifetime of the S40 that I'm left feeling very unsure. The particular car that I'm considering has 140,000 miles on the clock, hence my concern, although the current owner has said that it has a complete Volvo service history.

What I'd really like to know is who made the engine (Volvo, Mitsubishi, VW etc) and how reliable it is. I've been warned that there is a serious reliability issue with the diesel engined S40. I'm happy to buy high mileage and to treat the car with tlc, but I don't want to buy a mechanical problem.

Thanks for any help you can give!

I believe that it's a Renault engine. I have no personal experience but my diesel specialist advised me not to buy any Volvo with a Renault diesel engine. The car is made with other engines though.

Hope this is some help.

made with other engines !?!?!?!?

[RoyMacDonald]

[automotiverev]

Roy,
Thanks for your help. Do you know anyway of quickly identifying the engine? I'm planning to view the car this Saturday, so obviously if I can spot its a Renault engine then I can avoid it. I'm also interested in which diesel engine is the best in the pre-2004 S40. Any further information that you could give would be great...
Cheers,
John

[Clan]

The diesel engines in the S/V40 are Renault Based and in the S/V40 are very reliable , the later the better though i wouldnt get the old generation one up to 2000

D4192T 1996-1999 Mechancal with electronic timing control indirect injection
D4192T2 1999-2000 Mechanical with Direct Injection electronic timing
D4192T3 (115bhp) and T4 ( 105 bhp ) 2001-2004 Common rail fully electronic

The best ones are the T3 and T4 which can average 55 mpg and go quite well .

The only diesel that Volvo use for that model is Renault sourced.

I was thinking of the 2 litre petrol Volvo engine as being the best option for that car if you particully like it. If you want a diesel, personally I'd choose a Volvo with an engine made by Volvo or the Audi/VW group. There's a big choice of diesel models (but not the V40 I'm afraid) with your kind of budget.

Might be worth posting on the 400 series web site and finding out what the owner think. Clan has a different view though to my diesel specialist who encounter a lot of problems with them. I don't have any experience myself so I'm only giving you second hand information I'm afraid.

I would say the T4 is the nicest engine to drive not due to the power but the drivability and economy , on a certain journey of mine i cant get more than 34 mpg out of a 2 litre yet a T4 will do 38 mpg . so nothing lost at all and lots to gain ..

Regarding Diesel reliability , there are an awful lot of badly neglected pre 2000 S/V40's out there now most still going fine of course but inevitably there may be some finding their way to diesel "specialists" instead of main dealers when bodged by the back street garage .
The only problems are occasional turbo hoses bursting and coolant leaks when they changed the thermostat housing to plastic before reverting to alluminium again .. Once overheated this is going to lead to problems of course .

Thanks for that Clan....I didn't realise you had one. What kind of mileage are people putting on the best of the diesel engines?

I must confess to being a bit predudiced against Renault having bought a new one in my pre Volvo days and been less than happy with the aftersales disservice.

Your right that my diesel specialist is only going to see problem engines. In the early days of diesel for Volvo my main dealer used to send the car to them and charge me a fee on top for doing it. I know because they were quite upfront that that's what Volvo told them to do. Eventually I deceided that the Volvo For Life warranty wasn't worth paying their additional fee and took it straight there for any repairs.

Hi Roy
I don't own one but a few friends do/have and i have bee involved with them since they first came to life in the 300 series then 400 series and evolved into a very nice engine in the 2001 onwards S/V40 They are certainly less trouble than the new 2.0 D in the new S40/V50 . Mileage is not a problem , they don't wear out , but then neither do many makes of engine these days . Volvo dealers shouldn't farm out diesel work , they are issued with the tools and training to deal with them .

[automotiverev]

Clan,
As I'm going to view an 2003 S40 diesel this weekend, and you seem to have a good knowledge of them, have you any pointers for looking at a relatively high mileage one? The one I'm considering has 140k on, but the current owner says that it has a full Volvo service history. I'm looking forward to viewing it, hopefully it's as clean a car as it's current owner states.

Unfortunately I've no experience with Volvos, only Peugeots, Opels, and VWs. By the way, thanks for all your help so far!

According to the main dealer it was Volvo UK who told them to use First Diesel in Croydon. It was in 1991 though so maybe they didn't have enough trained diesel fitters back then. First Diesel had all the Volvo tools for the Diesel.

[BillyBoy200uk]

Excuse my ignorance, people have been saying that 2003 S40 diesels are Renault, i was under the impression that the Phase 2 models have Volvo engines fitted?? I have 52 plate S40 1.9D sport, was on 46k when i bought it....now on 102k...and no faults at all, and never less than 50mpg, as well as low emissions (143grams CO2 i think) therefore only £120 VED per year.

[Clan]

All the "Volvo" 4 cylinder diesels are Renault based starting from the D16 in the 300 series to the latest D4194T4 in the last S/V40 , they are evolved from the D16 unit ... which in itself was a conversion of the B172K Renault based petrol engine which started life in the 300 in 1986 .
The Renault based Engines have always performed well in a volvo and are fairly trouble-free and long-lasting ..
The Renault connection began when Volvo bought DAF in the 1970's , the first car volvo brought out was a modified DAF 66 which used Renault engines( Volvo 66 ) they continued that relationship all the way through until 2004 . The first B14 in the 300 was modified by volvo , it had better quality pistons , crankshaft and valves than Renault used . Later these mods found themselves in Renaults .
Renaults in turn use the Volvo B5254 in the Safran model and the B4204 from the V40 in the megane or Laguna .

[monkee]

So the VW lump in my `95 940 2.4se would definately be a D24Tic?
I have been trying to locate a repair manual,any ideas?

[AMDEN]

Could someone tell me which engine is fitted to the new S40 1.6d.
I don't have any problems but was just inquisitive to know which engine is fitted to my car. Could it be Ford or Mazda or would it still be a Renault based unit?

[Clan]

The 1.6 D is a unit used in a multitude of models but not Renault .
Volvo , Ford , Citroen Mazda Mini , Peugeot to name a few , its not a bad engine , all alloy which is nice and light . Capable of 60 + mpg in the lighter cars .

[alv70d1999]

[Ray Saxton]

Is that a definite for the VW lump (it's in a 1999 V70 estate auto) regarding the tyres as I have been advised to put 32psi front & 30psi rear. If I increase to 36psi front would I have to increase my rears to 38psi pro rata to maintain the balance/ride height.

[nikgary]

Diesel Engine is used for the four-stroke combustion principle, also known as the "Otto Cycle," and it's the basic premise for most car engines today. In its early stage, the gasoline engine wasn't very efficient, and other major methods of transportation such as the steam engine fared poorly as well.

Hi I am new here and desperately looking for information. Please help if you can.

Car description S40 1.6D 2005

Recently while I was in motorway engine oil sign came off. I stopped and relayed the car to my local independent volvo specialist. He said the horrible sound is coming from vacuum pump. So, it was changed. They said the vacuum pump's broken part smashed and went to the engine oil that blocked the engine oil. He found only 1 litre of engine oil when he drained it (theAA recovery team noted oil as 2/3 when attended).

Now, upto 1000rpm rev the engine sounds normal and can go upto 20m/h but over that there is noise from bottom of the engine. I was told I have to reconditioned/replace engine.

Can anybody know who can do the recondition the engine properly and refit it. Volvo dealer asks 5.4K, independent can do it for 4.5K with a new engine from Volvo (3.2K). Others quoted 2.2-2.5K (internet sources), I can't go for 4.5K. I would like to go for 2K-2.2K but how can I authenticate the internet sales quotes? Or, can they really do the job? It is only 4.5 years old car.

Did anybody have this kind of problem?

How about getting the indi to fit an engine from a write off?

Thanks Roy, I got a quote today from Direct Engine, Glasgow saying they can supply same engine from a 2008 35K right off car. They quoted £1057 with VAT and delivery, is it right price? I could talk with independent tomorrow about this. Could please give an idea what the indi should charge for taking out the old one and fitting the new one?

I guess independent can confirm the supplied engine condition on receive? The quoted guys siad they can give 3 months warrenty. I appreciate all suggestions.

[RoyMacDonald]

Your indi was charging £1300 to fit a new engine from Volvo so I would expect the cost to be the same for fitting the engine from the breakers. So that should be about £2500 total.

Is the engine the right price? Only you can decide that, but you could contact some more breakers and get a price comparison. More miles less expensive I would think.

All the best.

[Clan]

so the oil ran out ...? where did the oil go? thats what caused the vacuum pump to fail i guess , do you check your oil ? if this is the case the turbo is likely to be damaged too .
This engine is used on a huge variety of cars these days so there should be a lot in breakers yards .. you could save a bit by using a citroen or ford version if you know what you are doing ..

[RoyMacDonald]

The vacuum pump on my 940 TD became noisey at 94,000 (not through lack of oil) and I had it changed before anything happened, but if you drive with the radio on I guess you might not hear it failing?

Might not the blocked oilways (from the broken pump parts) have pressurised the system and caused the oil to blow out somewhere?

V70 D5's of that period are all 163 bhp. Not sure what the 145 bhp is, as I've never heard of a V70 with a 145 bhp D5 engine. The 185 bhp D5 was introduced in 2005.

[George Holmer]

To refer back to the first few posts about 940s etc. with a 5 cylinder diesel engine. To my knowledge, the 940 where never equipped with this but there was in fact an engine called D20 that was a five cylinder engine also sourced from VW and of course in fact the same engine as the D24 with one less cylinder. These were fitted to 200 series cars at least and sold in some countries, including Finland. They are rare and I have been told that they were slow, which I am sure anyone who has driven the D24 would believe.

I used to own a Volvo 740 D24T which I upgraded with an intercooler and later, I owned 940 D24TIC. These were superb cars, I miss them grately.

It had a little rubber cover and two wires coming out of it. Partial number stamped on it was 968F01 - I am going to try to seal it with epoxy and high temp silicon.

Can you help with my v70 2001 D5 engine tapping from engine belts and pulleys. Thanks in advance.

Davedefeet

[GrahamBrown1]

You would be better posting this a separate post to get a greater response. What you need to do is remove the auxiliary belt first and check the tensioner idler and alternator clutch. if these are ok then run the car to check the cambelt area. If the noise is still present then you know where to focus. This is not a hard job if your handy with the spanners and a member on here has a video of exactly what to do. has your cambelt been changed? if not its over due as the interval is 10 years or 108,000 if I remember correctly. You also need to change the above mentioned parts as its these that cause cambelt failures not the cambelt breaking itself. Also Volvo genuine parts is the only way to go when dealing with this area.

Are you sure the cruise control is still working? I spent around £800 at a main dealer trying to get the cruise control working for longer than a week or so. In the end I gave up on it.

[Sallennic]

I know the cable is fraying and stretched, and tends to slip off the appropriate groove on the capstan. I wonder why yours worked for a week or so each time you got it sorted? Did you ever find out? I believe it's vacuum operated isn't it?

No, it was simply costing too much. That £800 was in 1996.

Yes, I think it was vacuum operated as I recall. It could be retrofitted as well. If the dealer had fitted a complete new one it would have been cheaper.

Hi,

I am after a bit of help.

I have an XC60 D5 that has just shed it's auxiliary belt which then took out the cam belt. Crunch! I always get it MOT's, serviced and repaired at the same garage and they have been great in the past.

The alternator and I assume belt were only replaced by my garage less than 500 miles ago. The alternator was replaced due to bearing issues. At the time I mentioned that the tensioner pulley was probably the problem because the rescue guy had stuck in his long screw driver and we had had a listen after he got it restarted. Lots of chirping and grinding. After the alternator was replaced it did all sound better, so I assumed it was all ok.

The garage are now facing me with a huge bill, almost 3K and I'm not sure it should be me paying.

Any thoughts on this.

Many thanks

Was the aux belt and tensioner changed at the 54000 mile service ? who was responsible for the 54000 mile service ? Is there an outstanding recall or service campaign on the Aux belt and tensioner ?They would not necessarily have changed the belt just because the alternator was changed , was the Aux. belt on your bill ?
This is where the dealers earn their bread , knowing what is what and keeping your car out of trouble . ... It is quite complex The Aux belt and it's tensioner .

The 1.6 D is a unit used in a multitude of models but not Renault .
Volvo , Ford , Citroen Mazda Mini , Peugeot to name a few , its not a bad engine , all alloy which is nice and light . Capable of 60 + mpg in the lighter cars .

Hi Clan, I have just bought a 1.6 diesel v60 2016, after owning a v50 2.00l diesel and have been told the 1600 is a rubbish engine, can you tell me if this is true, mines done 36000 miles, thanks Dave.

rubbish isn't a description i'd give any engine used in a volvo .. IT depends what is meant by that :-)

What is your opinion of the 2016 1600’volvo diesel please

[Clan]

What is your opinion of the 2016 1600’volvo diesel please

you mean the D2 2 litre 4 cylinder ? It is basically the same as all the other D3 D5 and D5 of that age to date with less power ..

[WhiteKnight]

Bob,
Don't forget the 900s which came with the D24Tic post '93, before that presumably the D24T or ?D24. We can agree to leave out those 900s equipped with the 5 cylinder motor as they were so rare presumably there are none left.

Volvo's relationship with the VAG D24 goes back to the 200 series LHD only not imported I believe they were non turbo. D24T's were definitely in the 700's as well, including the sadly never officially imported 780 :-)

[ShadeTek]

You could add the D4162T?

[Rob76]

New to this but I cant see a mention of the D2 1.6 fitted to a V60.
I must admit that I am well pleased with the MPG and the performance of the engine. It accelerates well but is a little slow to pick up at 70 but what do you expect from a 1.6 that gives 50+ around town and nigh on 70 at cruising speed. especially with 100k under its wheels.

Is the list in the OP to this thread up to date? It seems to relate to engines pre 2010? Maybe the thread title could be amended to reflect that the engines covered in this part of the forum have/haven't changed?

The reason I've come here is that when reading posts in other parts of the forum, reference is made to different engines by initials, eg VEA. I'm trying to find out what these refer to.

So, for example, my 2017MY V60CC D4 AWD has a 5 cylinder 2.4 diesel, but the V60CC D4 (FWD) has a 4 cylinder 2.0 diesel. I don't know what the designations of these are, so it's hard to be clear whether a reference to one or other engine is relevant to me.

Some sort of cheat sheet on what engines in the more recent line up are described as, would be really useful.

Sounds like a good idea.
