Default 2014 XC60 losing power on hard acceleration

Hello everyone,

I have a 2014 XC60 D4 manual transmission AWD model with only 34,000 miles.

If I accelerate hard from about 35-40mph in 4th gear when the revs climb to about 2250 the revs drop back about 300-400 before accelerating normally again. When this happens the little gear indicator ( to the right of the speedo ) flicks momentarily from 4 to 3 then back to 4. Its a manual transmission.

If I immediately try to reproduce the problem it doesn't happen - the car accelerates normally.

After about 5 or 10 minutes of normal driving without any hard acceleration I can reproduce the problem.

I'm about 100 miles from the nearest Volvo dealer. My local garage with an excellent mechanic can find no fault codes but i got him to change the fuel filter and I have been running with a diesel additive in the tank.

Any ideas anyone ?

Thanks

Clutch slip?

Is this the 5-cylinder engine?

Thanks for your reply Zebster.

I don't think it's clutch slip as it accelerates fine initially and its only when the revs hit about 2250 that the problem occurs and by then the car is travelling about 50 mph

I don't know if its a 4 or 5 cylinder - how do I tell ?

Thanks

You say it is an AWD D4 so it will almost certainly be a 2.4l 5-cylinder.

FWD could be 2.0l 5-cylinder or later ones had 2.0l 4-cyl VEA engine. I am not certain when they changed over.

Various direct ways to identify engine type, e.g.
Look in your owner manual spec section to see what engine you are most likely to have - they usually also have diagrams in the maintenance section to distinguish different models.
Remove engine cover and count number of injectors (diesel) or plug leads (petrol)
Check exact ccs on logbook and cross reference.
