What problems? I'm not aware of any inherent problems with the 5 cylinders?

Costlier VED? I pay £30 for my D4 (5 cylinders)...

Aux belt tensioner failing, then the aux belt interfering with the cam belt, then all sorts of upset! I believe the advice for buyers is to check the service record carefully in this regard.

£30 is more than either £20 or zero.

Well Pointer7

I hope you have either got the older non VEA D4, or found one that is not having the usual EGR/Cooler issues, otherwise about 6 - 24 months down the line you will get the CEL appearing on the dashboard, take it in to your local Volvo Dealer to be faced with a bill of £1000 to replace them.

And this will probably continue to happen every 6-24 months depending on where you are driving.
