D5 or D4 C30 & tuning
I'm going to replace my MY07 2.0TD C30 soon.
With another C30 because it's so good! Question is they seem to have stopped offering the 2.4 D5 but have upped the output of the 2.0 to almost the same output (D4) So which do I hunt for? Is the D4 tunable or have Volvo maxed it out to replace the D5?

Go for a D4 and enjoy an even livlier engine with much better fuel consumption than the D5 !

I presumed Volvo had done this to reduce the upfront weight and improve emissions. On that bsis I presume it is the same D4 unit fitted to other Volvo's? Is there no breathing or exhaust improvements?

The engine designations changed a couple of years ago , D2 D3 D4 D5 no longer refer to a particular engine , but to an engine within a particular power range . For example the D3 in th C30 is less power than the D3 in the larger volvo cars .

I'd be better of hunting down a D5 and getting Hamish to tune then
