Anyone own a Volvo S60 D5? (2.4 turbocharged diesel)

want as much info on these as possible please

Went in one the other day (not a police one ) and thought it was very very VERY smart. Looking at prices, its a LOT of car for very little cash aswell

Any gen appreciated - problems, power outputs, comfort on long distance, reliability, fuel consumption etc etc

 

Paul it depends on the year you get - but both 163bhp and 185bhp models can be remapped too 226bhp i think - i had a S60 T5 and there ace build quality etc, the thing thats crap about em is the turning circle and rear leg rooms not that brilliant.

Checkout the VOC forums too.

Ironically I was just looking at one of these on ebay:

Im after a new daily driver at the moment after the abrupt death of my mondeo and they do seem like a good option!

 

I thought you might know Craig

Must admit, rear legroom aint a problem as its only myself and Adam who travel in my car anyway

Looking at a 2003ish model, but not buying just yet, saving for a house so will be a few months (more time for them to depreciate a bit )

Gotta admit tho, I was more than impressed by the level of comfort and the amount of goodies it had in the one I travelled in

 

Theres always a load at Rothwell Auctions, try deal with Lombard Finance direct like i did and i paid the reserve price and cut out the auction

 

Top stuff. How much did you pay?

 

Mine was a 2002 S60 T5 Se - 84000mile full history just 3yr old i paid £6500 reserve - i reckon with auction fees etc it would have made £8000

 

Standard pic and after i added a few mods too.

 

Very nice that

 

The other half had a 06 plate S60 D5 as a company car for a while!

It absoloutely ate fron tyres!

I found it very hard to take away in first gear in the wet (sometimes even the dry) without that yellow triangle flashing on the middle of the dash!

But a very comfortable motorway cruiser!

 

Paul i did recall read somewhere that injectors can fail etc at high mileage and its a £1000 replacement but i didnt take much notice of the thread as diesels are for ladys
