Thanks for the replies . I've already had a p2 s60 sport d5 and a p2 xc70 d5 6 speed ,both remapped .The s60s dpf didn't like towing and used throw a wobbly and would sit right down at the back,the xc just didn't like not having money thrown at it weekly with over 4k in parts in the months I had it but towed pretty well (apart from the flywheel not liking full load with the caravan on)
The p3 xc70 towed great with enough power (mapped d5 205) and nivomats but again dpf issues spoil it with it getting so hot on the last trip that it set alight to the sound proofing under the bulkhead!
This is why I hate newer stuff! And why I want to keep going backwards in time to the 940 turbo. Obviously it will have the boost upped and an exhaust and breathing mods to suit so should be 200+bhp I'd say. I would look into retro fitting nivomats probably or some sort of assisters.
The old tdi (at about 175bhp and a good lot of torque) has no dpf,no swirl flaps ,no egr or cat 😉 so I have total confidence in the old bus...
I maybe should just use it as the towcar and keep any 940 as a plaything?
