D5 servicing

[p fandango]

Hi all, as i've had Bonny almost 2 years i think its time for a quick service.

What oil do i want, i've got some 10w/40 for BT which says "for petrol & diesel" will that be ok?

& what about fuel filters, is it the usual canistor under the bonnet like other diesels i've seen

many thanks Duane

Fuel filter is just in front of the back wheel on the driver's side (well it is on my P2 V70) held in by a single bolt through a bracket. the hose clips can be a pig to get off and when you re-attach them to the new filter, give them a good tug to make sure you didn't damage the internals. You don't want them popping-off at 70mph spraying fuel all over the rear brakes! New filter is about £13 from GSF. I think 5w/30 semi synth or 10w/40 full synth are what GSF recommended for the T-5 motor. Don't know about D-5.

she was washed last month thank you, & might even treat her to a wash & vac this time. Can't moan when they only charge £10 to do inside & out lol

filter sounds the same style as on BT, which is still in the garage because i couldn't be bothered to change it lol

PS i don't go anywhere near 70mph anyway, its a diesel lol

I have been driving HLMs D5 auto, and I can assure its really not slow, infact its bloody nippy and being an auto its easy to forget how quick your going.

D5s rock, I would look at castrol oils Volvo now recommend.

As good as the D-5 is, it's T-5 all the way for me, I turned the boost up a bit on the Big Sweed yesterday, forgot to tell the missus, got growled - at. She rarely gets it past 3000 revs and when she does it scares the s**t out of her and then she blames me!?

sounds like a normal Sunday night down McDonalds lol

just phoned up to order the bits, they've got 2 fuel filters on the System. A screw-on filter or a canister, HELP which have i got lol

[v70torslanda]

-> MY '04 (YV1SW7***4*******) & Euro 3. 10w40 Semi.

MY '05 -> (YV1SW7***5*******) & Euro 4. Longlife. SLX.

Euro 4 cars have a DPF which regenerates using engine oil.

THE WRONG OIL WILL KILL YOUR CAT/DPF.

Mine used to like 5w40 full synth.

I used AC Delco with the VW PD spec. Good value . . .

they've got both in stock so probably get both just to be sure, then leave them on the shelf in the garage for a few years lol

i binned the original cabin filter because it was restricting the air too much

& i'm running a cone filter so air filters fine
