General: - Now realised it's a bit gutless

CCFMJL · Jul 20th, 2019, 16:20

A V70 2.4 auto n/a that is now I've got used to it, it's fine for dodling about but don't try and overtake when doing 60+. It will go yes but not what I expected and being an n/a can't be mapped so I am kind of screwed.

Has anyone else felt this if they have or had a 2.4 n/a.

What do you mean by "n/a"?

I would think there is something wrong with it ...

which one , the 140 or 170 bhp ? I don't think i have ever driven a volvo that is gutless except for a 340 with 5 people in .. ( not gutless with just the driver )

That's what I said above

Get it on a rolling road to test the BHP.

I'm not wasting money like on it as it is mechanically sound. It's a heavy car so is probably the way it is.

Mine is only the 140bhp engine[but with a manual box]while I agree it doesn't have the urge of my [heavier-but more powerful]3L auto Omega or my 960 3L I've never found myself "embarrassed" by its performance,although you do have to realise its limitations-it's no sportscar after all.Does the kick down work properly?Does it have sport mode to hold the gears higher into the rev range?
