joeyeokk Clutched February 4, 2015 Share February 4, 2015 its been a while since the v40 and s60 d2 have been out. any bros here can share its fuel consumption? Since sep 2014 my fuel comsumption has been ard 13.2l/km using Esso. This month i have changed to Caltex and so far my fuel consumption is around 13.8l/km. Honestly speaking diesel is so much cheaper than petrol that i don't really bother. The important thing is with Caltex, my car feels more responsive and the engine sound is much smoother.

Bluecollar 1st Gear February 4, 2015 Share February 4, 2015 Do you guys find the D2 slow? being a diesel with a limited torque band? Not sure if I'm right but your definition of slow may be quite true. Diesel have better torque but slow in picking up speed. There's one time on a wide stretch, it took me quite a while to go from 100km/hr to 130km/hr at 2100 revs. After 130km/hr car seems a drag to move anymore but it does not feel slow because the torque seems to keep pushing the car forward. Also noticed that because of the torque, diesel tends to maintain the speed better as in when you lift your foot off gas pedal. The other thing is Volvo tends to be a heavier car than others, so may be another factor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburger Hypersonic February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 Not sure if I'm right but your definition of slow may be quite true. Diesel have better torque but slow in picking up speed. contradicting there i must say. if a engine is loaded with torque, pick up will be good. but in a drag race it will lose out to petrol due to its short power bandwidth.

Eyke Supercharged February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 (edited) 5th month V40 baby. And my aircon passed out odour smell when I turn it on in the morning and under recirculation mode, I still can inhale the exhaust smoke from motorbike everyday along BKE. Any suggestion or opinion are welcome for. 1. try turn off aircon 5 mins before reaching destination and set blower to high/max to try and blow dry the insides to prevent bacterial growth that cause smell. do not use any air freshener as they can be the cause as well. 2. request Wearnes to seal off the outside air intake/inlet. had the same issue with Ford Focus and that's what the AD did, just just a piece of plastic to block the inlet to ensure minimal exhaust will leak in.

Yah, turn off aircon few minutes to let to the cold air condensation dry up will help. In my previous car, normal freshener seem not working on foul smell until I used this brand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
