I recently discovered that the latest D5 engine (215BHP) runs at two torque levels, depending upon transmissions (420Nm and 440Nm) man/Auto. WHY? I thought it might be the clutch could not take the extra torque, ( as in the V70 AWD R the auto box was torque reduced IIRC in 1st and 2nd) but I see that the Polestar option is available for manual cars which .... you've guessed increases the torque of the manual cars??? So now I'm back to square one - Why does Volvo de tune the manual?? Cheers Bob
