I know this has been mentioned before but I just wondered as I have a V50 2005 with a 2.0D who does actually make this engine?....Ford or one of the french companies?

Its a ford/Peugeot/Citroen engine but would expect in the Volvo it to have come from one of fords factories.

The engine is a cooperation between Ford and PSA. Volvo, being in the FoMoCo at the time, simply were allowed to use it - like Ford the T5.
At the same time, the engine is built in many different plants. Even in Skövde in Sweden. Depending on when built and how much demand was there, it could even be a Volvo built (made in Sweden in Skövde) Volvo 2.0d or a Ford 2.0TDCI or a Citroen/Peugeot 136HDI FAP. It isn't easy to say. The only thing you can say is, that it isn't a Volvo design nor engineered by Volvo.

Look at how long you had to wait for a new D3 and D4 engine... I remember being told by my dealership (one of the best in Europe) that a 2.0d delivery would take about 5 months (this was 2008). A 1.6d about 3 months (2008 still) and a 2.0 petrol instant production and delivery (wait about 2 weeks!).

there are clues with the 1.6D as well , citroen have massive problems , Leaking sumps , leaking injectors , siezing injectors in the head , turbo failures , rods out the side of the block ... EGR Problems ,DMF problems , clutch problems , gearbox problems ( i believe citroen use their own gearbox )
Whilst volvo may get rare instances of this but not on a daily basis ! It is interesting to see volvo use white sump sealant ( which doesnt leak) and citroen's is white which does , and the sumps are so flimsy that they bend when peeling them off the block and have to be renewed .

Thanks Clan, good to hear as I have the 1.6D. By the way, where was my 2008 S40 built? Any ideas?

In the same factory, as all the S40, C30 and V50 for the European market are - in Gent/Ghent... Belgium!
