Hi Folks
quick question - my D5 idles perfectly at exactly 700 rpm...
Is this normal?
Dac
Lucky boy.
Idle speed is correct. Smooth as a baby's?
Lucky, lucky boy . . .

Boost pressure on the D5 is around twice that of the standard T5.
The intercooler is the same.
They usually last around 100k but you'll know when it has gone, you'll think the car should be painted yellow and have 'Ingersoll Rand' stencilled down the side

I have ran mine mapped for 60K miles , no issues. now 153K

C70 T5 GT (weekend toy)
S60 D5 SE (gone and i miss it)
That reminds me . . .
Must take a photo of mine to show the hole in the acoustic cover from the glow plug blowing out of #5 cylinder
The more I see of this car the more jealous I'm getting. Mine was NEVER that clean despite being a Volvo 'Approved Used Car', despite me working for the dealer I bought it from and despite being only 3 years old and less than 60k on the clock.
Maybe that's why that showroom now has plywood windows, if it hasn't actually been demolished yet.

And the same engine as in my V70
I did a write up of my MTE remap here http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26128
Still going strong
I'll probably be doing an intercooler change before it pops. There's some good info on the D5 tuning thread of T5D5 (also in the general engine tuning iirc). There is now the possibility of a drop in uprated replacement i/c rather than mucking about with the full FMIC option some people have gone for.

That is a good write up - out of all the posts I've read about it (not that I've ever sampled them of course) I'd have to say if i was getting a new remap I'd be erring towards MTE.

Thank-you sirs for the last two posts.
The same write up is also on T5D5 and VOC, being a member of both the other forums. My aim was to provide a totally independent view on my choices and results. I do hope others will benefit.
