D5 vs T5

[Murphy]

d5 doesn't sound much like a tractor, although my 4 cylinder a4 tdi did

Dumper truck

Ok so Jacq phoned taggarts Volvo as she passed on the bus tonight, they have an 05 plate 2.4 D, says its 163 bhp but NON D5, I thought that happened 06 onwards when the 185 came in?

Worth a look, ie if it's solid and will map better than an older D5 anyway, is there anythign the old D5 was better at?

Cheers for all info

T5 is better than D5 - performance aside, think about that tractor sound, nobody wants that do they?

They have some advantages though:

i wouldn't get that much mileage if i coasted downhill for that many bloody miles!!

So am wondering....what are the differences between the old (EIII) D5 and the newer 2.4d / 185 's?

I know the newer engine uses aDPF, gen 2 commonrail system (+ supposedly better quality injectors) and a VGT turbo but what else??

1. much worse MPG since DPF on newer engines

Well yes, goes without saying, and DPF re-gen problems ....
