V40 D2 wanted
Hi,
I'm looking for a V40 for a friend of mine who has 6-7k to spend. He's looking for a tax free or low tax car. Obviously he's looking for the best car for the money, lowish miles and a decent spec. Flexible on colour We're in the North East but prepared to travel for a private sale if the car is good. Thanks Steve |

If possible, go for the newer 2.0-litre D2 (which is a Volvo engine), rather than the 1.6-litre D2, which is a peugeot engine.

I thought the D2 had a load of clutch/DMF issues?

Thanks guys, so what year did the better Volvo D2 2.0 engine arrive ?
Under the bonnet how do I tell them apart ? The money available puts me in 62/63 plate ballpark. The more I look at engines the more confused I get... I was looking at D3 engines and I assumed it was scaled down version of the 5cyl 2.4 engine as in my XC60, yet when I look at some car reviews they describe it as 4 cyl 150bhp. What I'd really like is the 5cyl D3 150bhp with low emissions/Tax how do I tell which engine is which ? confused.... :-) Thanks Steve Last edited by ushes; Aug 21st, 2019 at 09:01. |

The 2.0L D2 engine was introduced in 2016 model year cars so would have been available in cars from later in 2015.
The 2.0L D3 on a 62/63 plate car will be a five cylinder, as you say it is similar to your D5 but has a shorter stroke. The new 2.0L four cylinder D3 was introduced in 2016 model year. |
