Back and a new car D5

[Plodmonkey]

Well got back from afghan and decided to treat myself last week to a 2005 S60 D5 SE it has some minor mods such as a tuning box, K&N Panel Filter and a boost gauge which I think is wired in wrong as it barely moves what psi do d5's run standard. I have ordered poly bush for front strut brace and I have ordered a rear strut brace. would like to no if a new inter cooler would make a difference and something about dpf on diesel's making them quicker thanks.

welcome back mate car looks very nice wheels suit the car too in grey

[martybelfastt5]

looks good! welcome back:wavey:

[Plodmonkey]

cheers they are coming off soon as getting my R wheels hydro dipped in carbon fibre and going to use them as winter wheels

[V70 Graham]

Welcome back, nice looking car.

[M-R-P]

Nice motor. You should see about 1.7 bar but no vacuum. Any idea what the gauge is plumbed into? The last one I fitted went into the egr pipe.

[Plodmonkey]

it is coming out of a pipe to the intercooler by the looks of things i will upload a pick tomorrow.

Welcome back from the hot and dusty s@@@ hole! Glad you made it in one piece!

The fact the car has already got some minor mods concerns me. First things first, start as you mean to go on.....
Get the car serviced, regardless of what the service history says, even if it's just a basic oil and filter change. Make sure your flush the engine oil too as you want to rid the engine of as much contaminants as possible and just dropping the oil will not do that, especially on a diesel.
Remove, clean and lightly re oil the K + N filter. Remove and clean the MAF with carb cleaner as it's bound to be contaminated with oil and dirt from the air filter.

Remove, degrease and jet wash the engine...that way, working on it will be more pleasurable rather than getting covered in crap every time you touch it. It will also make oil leaks easier to spot!
With the cover removed and the engine clean and dry, you can now go over it, looking for any out of place hoses, clips and even wiring connectors not refitted correctly from previous maintenance. This is your opportunity to check the vacuum hoses and make sure none are split, cracked or showing signs of age. If in doubt - replace!

Read the codes on the car - note them down then delete them all. They may be old codes and not relevant. Then after 100 miles or so, re read the codes and see if any of the ones you wrote down reappear. If they do , then you know you have an issue.
This to me seems the most logical way of attacking your (potential problems) before you go ripping out the boost gauge.

What's the mileage? If around the 100k plus mark! then you need to check the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system is not blocked. This will cause boost issues if blocked. Simply remove dipstick slightly on a warm engine whilst running at idle and see if you get signs of smoke from the dipstick tube. If so, it's blocked and will need attention. Expect to pay around £150 for new parts from the dealer.

Regards the DPF (diesel particular filter) these slow the car down, not make it faster! Think of it as a catalytic convertor for diesels cos that's basically what it is. Unfortunately for you, DPFs are the Achilles heal of modern diesels and pretty much the main reason I will never buy a modern diesel. Over time they need to regenerate to clean themselves, unfortunately hapless owners don't follow procedures that are explained in the owners manual and over time they often clog up. Main symptoms are warning lights on dash, loss of power and erratic revs. Main dealer costs are astronomical to fix especially if they insist on replacing it....expect a bill to average £2500 for replacement!!!
You used to be able to remove the DPF, gut them, refit and have software delete the DPF sensor.....unfortunately new MOT legislation put an end to that in March this year. If your car has a DPF fitted from factory and your sensor is not fitted/deleted or the DPF has been gutted then it will fail. You will get slightly more smoke once deleted and increased torque and increase in BHP. shame!
The other thing that can cause you problems is the EGR valve. In some cases these can be blanked off. Those that are electrically controlled I'm not sure, most are vac controlled. Easiest thing is to just replace the dam things. There not expensive and relatively easy to replace, thou I would insist on a garage doing it if you not confident on the spanners. They are connected to the exhaust side of things and due to there nature they can seize and be a real pig to remove sometimes.

Hope that helps!

Ps, nice car, nice dark alloys. Lose the tow bar thou and get a nice lip for the tailgate!

[graemewelch]

Nice looking motor. First thing id do is remove the tuning box and bin it. They are bad news. If it dose have a dpf the mot tester can test to see if its been gutted or not.

[Plodmonkey]

just been doing some research and I am going to take it off and give it a blast threw with a jet washer as i just found it is now illegal ha. With the tuning box I am looking at getting and intercooler then mapping it as it worked well on my misses golf will this have the same effect as i no volvo intercoolers are good.

[graemewelch]

Its very common for the intercoolers to fail on the d5. The d5's seem to respond very well to remapping. If your car is the 165 it wont have a dpf. Im sure its only euro 5 engines that have them

[LeeT5]

What are you going to take off and what is illegal?

Volvo inter coolers are good but FMICs are better!
A remap is a good thing also but you really should be doing a stage '0' first before ploughing money into expensive mods. Get the car running sweet and strong first. Cover ever eventuality and leave no stone unturned before you mod. Modding exposes any weaknesses and you don't want to have to go down the nasty route some ppl have had to be removing mods to cure other faults first! That's double handling. You don't know anything about the car as you've only just bought it, so it makes sense to get the car running tip top first. :eclipsee_

[Plodmonkey]

Yes it the 163 model and I got the car of my uncle who has owned it for 2 years then before that it was his best friends it has just had the clutch replaced before I purchased it and I am ordering the parts I need for a stage 0 tomorrow to do this week the engine is very clean and the car pulls on very well diesels are something I no nothing about at all.

[stephenevans99]

Don't rule out uprated ARBs in the near future. Worth at least 30bhp through the twisties lol.

Even with my front and rear braces, polybushed engine bar & factory lowered sports suspension - the D5 still handles like a bit of a boat.

Uprated shocks are the only way to get it to handle well. Mine had uprated shocks when i bought it and the handling was great. Like it was on rails but the ride was a little to hard for me so i put std shocks on

Does yours not have 4C?

[Plodmonkey]

Yes been pricing up getting the standard shocks uprated to the 30mm drop on standard shocks with the ones on parts for volvo with IPD top mounts and IPD HD drop links then poly bush the hell out of it that is next months play but stage 0 this month then maybe a intecooler and remap wondering whether to get an exhaust made as 534 quid is alot of money for not being turbo back.

is there anyway to get a t5r induction kit to fit the D5

[stephenevans99]

Unfortunately not....wasn't available on the D5 I believe.

[M-R-P]

Considering the turbo inlet in pretty much the same position as the the R, I'd say yes - but you'll need the R maf to turbo pipe.

[Plodmonkey]

well just looking at the plan of things would love about 240 bhp but that maybe optimistic ha

when you live just up the road from me it makes it very easy to make things fit. who quoted £534 for a exhaust. i build them for £300. 2.5" straight through silencer and i only use mandrel bends not the cheap crush bends.

[stribo]

Unfortunately not....wasn't available on the D5 I believe.

So why have you got an R badge on it? :P

[M-R-P]

well just looking at the plan of things would love about 240 bhp but that maybe optimistic ha

With a DTi tuning box, chavboy's D5 163 made 177bhp and 341ft/lb on the rollers so I imagine a proper remap would fetch a fair bit more. However, you're intercooler will go pop pretty quickly so it'll be a good idea to go for an aftermarket one that can cope with at least 30 psi.

[stephenevans99]

So why have you got an R badge on it? :P
Because I like it

It'd be a good idea to have the car dyno'd now and done again after the mods to see the gains.

A few of my friends with gay clio 182's are having a dyno day so I am going to bring some class as I want to see what it can do before I start.

Well after a few weeks of owning the car I have done a few bits and bobs after spending 6hrs cleaning the exterior of the car came up rather nice till it rained.

[M-R-P]

That brace is supposed to wobble about but I see you've bought the tensioning kit too. That'll keep a lot of the vibration from the poly top mount out of the cabin

[stephenevans99]

Car's looking awesome mate....

I've had parts dipped with these guys - highly recommended:

http://www.aquagraphix.co.uk/

Looking at your last pic, that Top Mount looks like the older rounded housing type, the new ones were far more square and less likely to fail. Even with a Brand New mount, the stabiliser bar will move. Fitting the Powerflex bushes either end will limit this movement quite a bit.

I don't think it's wise installing a Powerflex bush in top engine mount on a D5 - a few have done this and reported far too much noise and vibrations resulting in loose teeth lol

Ha I will see what it's like and if I hate it I will take it off I was looking at hydro monkeys in Hendon as a few of my friends have used them but I will look into him aswell thanks

[Plodmonkey]

That looks smart and would you say it is worth putting a 3inch turbo back or just 2.5 since your the only one I no with a tunned D5 ha

[stephenevans99]

When it comes to exhausts and tuning I'm not the wettest fountain of knowledge BUT I went 2.5" turbo back and de-cat & didn't notice any measurable increase in performance to be brutally honest - sounds a lot better though. If I were to do it again, I'd just go CAT back. Graeme Welch is the man to speak to.

Remap wise....I went for a local, well established company who has an excellent reputation on the Ford scene - unfortunately I didn't really get the performance I was expecting. The car recently ran on a Hub Dyno at AET and produced 147 whp & 362Nm torque - quite low, disappointing figures but it drives VERY well and keeps up with others. I've often thought about having it re-remapped lol with MTE

I totally agree with not fitting PF bush on the top mount of a D5, the new OE uprated bushes are great and much better than the older round ones.
Also, being as your car is FWD, I'd ditch the PF inserts that you've purchased as your Strut brace will still flex and theoretically, it won't be a true strut brace unless it's solid and cannot move.

Fit these instead:

These will make your strut brace solid and then you'll eliminate Torque steer on the front and make your car much more behaved and nicer to drive when your foots planted!
You won't get any extra vibration either because your engine is still isolated from the bulkhead by the engine mount bushes.

That'll sound superb on a D5, my powerflow was too loud on the T5 but sounded epic on chavboy's D5.

It's still recommended that you install the powerflex bushes into the engine bar mounts as the strut brace sits very close - literally mm.

Without the powerflex bushes, you'll find the engine bar may come in contact with the strut brace.

Here's the thread showing how close they are:

Very nice looking car there mate and some good work going on.The power figures I take it you still have the tuning box on.As far as I know the facelift D5 163 that has an electronic turbo actuator is just the same as 185 D5 with only ecu software difference therefore with a stage 1 remap gets to 200-210bhp depending on remap and supporting mods with a sports remap gets to 225-240 depending on how healthy the engine etc.

Thanks it dynod at 192 with panel filter and tuning box so with a full 3inch turbo back and inter cooler I will get it done again to see the gains i don't really fancy mapping it if I am just going to get a gain of 5 hp so thinking of a hybrid turbo, stage 2 clutch and a custom map maybe upgrading the fuelling system to push more bhp as I want between 280 to 300 from the car

Any updates, looks like good work.
