Exactly. The D4 I had in the V40 was the VEA D4, 4 cylinders and was an absolute peach of an engine albeit relatively new at the time. There was a glut of EGR issues which Volvo was struggling to remedy if memory serves me right.

If I go for the D4 option this will be the lump I go for.

That's my question though really - are there any real disadvantages (either technically or mpg wise) to go for the VEA D4 over the 5 cylinder D5 as the D5 has a much better spec and is cheaper albeit also slightly older?
