Five cylinder D3, anyone?
Hello all
Anyone here more than me with the five cylinder D3? I'm curious to know what you all think about your engines and how it holds up. Or any problems you have had, things to look or hear out for or maybe some parts that's good to change to be on the safe side? |

I have a 5 cylinder D3 D5204T2 engine. Well there are some minor issues but nothing too scary. First of all the aux belt can snap because the tensioner pulley is too strong, so when replacing the tensioner replace the belt too. Then the fuel pumps on 2010/2011 D3 engines are built very poorly so they eventually start to fail, which is very noticeable when you start experiencing decreased engine performance. You start noticing that right after a finished regen cycle, then after a few thousands of miles they die completely. You should also keep an eye on your radiator fan as they're prone to failure.

A problem I heard of is the ac-compressor failing, the the ac-belts flies off and it can result in whole engine going bang. Actually I'm in the thoughts of having the magnetic clutch to the ac-compressor changed, my compressor works and I feel like there should be some sound before it fails (at least I hope so) but maybe the bearing in the magnetic clutch to it doesn't do any particular sound before it breaks.

My son has a 2011 XC70 D3 2WD auto and loves it.
He’s been running it for 15 months without any problems and says that it’s the best car that he’s ever had. |
