2001 S40 D speed
I have a 2001 S40 D 102bhp with 140,000 miles.
Once you're on the move, acceleration from 2000rpm up is as quick as I'd expect. But below 2500rpm (and even worse below 1800-ish) there is a 3-5 second delay between putting your foot down, and anything happening. I can forgive some turbo lag but it seems very excessive to have a few seconds with no acceleration at all before it finally goes anywhere. It's far worse than any other turbo car I've driven (including far slower TDs). Is this how they all behave? |
