Tune your Volvo with D5T5.COM. Engine optimization DIY. 

Be careful, my 2012 XC60 has a leaking windshield. Garage quoted from CAD $ 500 to 1800 if the orginal cracks. Speedy finished the whole thing with 255.00!

@@vondutch7406 Are you sure it wasnt just your drains being clogged? This will cause water to form in your overhead light and make its way to your floor board. These drains are located in the front right and front left of the sunroof area and are commonly clogged with debris.

got my CHI_DICE and decoding my CEM now..

Link max 450NM?

engineered.polestar.com/se/product/optimisation/xc70-d5-awd-automatic-2012 Vridmoment (Nm) Original: 440 Optimerad: 470 The standard torque for your car is 440 Nm. The Polestar optimization for your car (the same as I have) goes to 470 Nm.

How about an S80 T6(305hp standard)? Polestar tune will give same output as this one (330-ish/480Nm) but real power output is roughly 325hp / 520Nm. Real top end output was 550Nm btw (thats 100Nm more than your max). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BSyvyNtSMm4.html

In reality, this gearbox can handle much more torque. I have had 560nm in my D5 for over two years and the gearbox works very well 😀

Gonna do the same with my V50 Key

@@volvosweden Make a video of that. Definitely interesting.

@@volvosweden from what I’ve read we can use chinese dice hardware but need to pay the 3 day subscription and be online for key programming to be possible? Also i have just 1 key as previous owner lost other key, my remaining key starts the ignition but the lock/unlock 5 buttons do not function. Do you think i can reprogram that without buying the subscription? Is there a tutorial specifically for the 5 button programming?

he has the diesel version too!

Hi is your dice an original one? Thank you

@@oscasterr hi there . My dice is not an original one but works just fine 🙂

@@TheDIDSBIAK thank you very much I will look for someone on Aliexpress, kind regards

​@@TheDIDSBIAK u got a link?

i think so yes, you can find this info on the d5t5 website

Where did you go. I live in the US and own a 09 volvo xc70 T6. Really wanna get it

What’s the update Brock?

Yes exactly, to allow you to install normal suspension

it is possible to remove 4C suspension with VDASH

You can pay D5T5 to remove 4C system. You can also short/ground out the sensor from your old strut and trick it that 4C is functional despite having now regular struts. BUT, I found the Monroe 4C strut (for my s80) under manufacture product ID and found 4C struts for $250 online, new.... if you don’t remind replacing your own coils/struts then this $250 option is optimal if you want to keep car fully functional

the polestar tune from the dealer gets it to 480 nm so i think the transmission can withstand more than 440 or the dealer wouldnt sell such tune

Your gearbox can't handle the standard power if you tune it it'll break even faster.

@@JohnLawley24v Eh as a T6 owner I agree but also disagree. Info dump incoming. AFAIK main issues with the 4T65 as Volvo used it are: 1. Failure due to fluid contamination (with engine coolant) 2. Clutch pack wear from the absolute garbage shift times of the 4T65. Laziest shifts ever, especially with the thicker Dextron III fluid. 3. Hard part failure (somehow snapping an input shaft/breaking the TC/shredding a brake band) The death of these transmissions seems to be total roulette. I know of people with well over 100K mi on their 4T65. Some people report three failures in 100K. I am sure some is driving habit/skill. If the radiator cracks or develops a leak into the internal transmission cooler, you are SOL and probably won't know till it's too late, unless the radiator failure is catastrophic. I had this at 40K but got a new trans out of the deal. That's a flaw with the cooling system, not the trans, but people don't know and often blame the 4T65. Regular fluid changes and upgrading to Dextron VI will help in any case. A $45-$100 shift kit from Transgo or Intense and about two hours of your time can often fix the hard shift issues or "max adapt" codes. It will also reduce clutch pack wear which will dramatically forestall the most common cause of 4T65 death: the clutch packs wearing down to nothing from the long, lazy shifts. Then you get errors, very harsh shifts, potentially limp mode, or worse. My 2004 T6 XC90 is tuned to target 320 HP. haven't blown the gearbox yet, nearing 100K on this 4T65. The shift kit will be going in soon. If you blow the gearbox (it will blow someday) you can get it rebuilt to handle 400+ WHP. In other words, the gearbox is not REALLY the limiting factor if you have money to spend on a car. As far as the 2.9 T6 is concerned, good motor, but the 2.8L has better power potential. Biggest issues with the 2.9L as far as chasing power are the TINY TD03-8G turbos, you can maybe get to ~14-15 PSI of boost but you are at the upper end of the efficiency range and those turbos quickly become a flow restriction. The next issue is the open deck design and cylinder wall thickness. The 2.9 has 83mm bore, the 2.8 has 81mm bore much like the famed B5244T5. People have reported 480 WHP out of the 2.8 with a bigger turbo. The 2.9 is going to have similar issues to any of the other Volvo 5cyl engines: AKA cracked cylinder walls. After that its con rods and pistons! Toying with the idea of getting a 2.8 block and mating it to the 2.9 head from my '90. Getting a second thrashed 4T65 to rebuild myself, then slapping that back in the car and going to one big turbo. Dunno if I will do so someday or not.

​@@phishphood423thank you. I needed that information.

What's in the video is all you need.

@@volvosweden Thank you very very much for quick answer and again for the video!

I use both.

Oh, Ok. Thanks for that. I'm having trouble contacting d5t5 to sign up. But I'll keep trying. Thanks again.

Thx so much for my morning coffee!

Thx. Not even sure about trim.... It's not fully loaded. What important for me is it's a T6!

My XC70 D5 MY2014 went from 215bhp to 245bhp without any hardware upgrade, but it was an 'ECU out' job. The car is very lively now but fuel economy has dropped from 37.50mpg to 31.05mpg :-( Maybe the remap made my right boot get heavier!! ;-)

Do it! You will enjoy it.

Where did you buy that from? I'm interested but I don't want to buy a clone that doesn't work

@@thejoseandresshow sorry, it's been so long, I can't actually remember. I've had mine for 6 years now.

Yes elimination the EGR will keep your engine clean and more powerful. EGR recirculates the exhaust gas back to the inlet. It's like you eating your own poop 😅

you will get 9hp- not worth it for just 9 hp

@@ardie72 it's not the power, it's torque that makes such a difference. Remember - "horsepowers sell cars, newtonmeters win the race"

@@Tompawlowski what's the difference in torque between the two?

My V70 D5 AWD required a visit to a Vdash Pro guy before installing the ST2 optimization. It needed some ECM upgrades from Volvo first and therefore I was not able to install it myself with Vdash Lite.

Take your VIN and search on d5t5 website. You will see what's available

@@volvosweden Thank you sir, you are technically expert and have your Volvo cars always runs in good conditions.👍👍👍

In the menus can be changed. Look at the manual too.

No problems so far. As I understand the tune is at safe limit for the transmission. Unless you over tune it.

I will.

Not much that a tune can do to increase power on an NA engine. The story would be different if you had a turbo car!

go to professionals, this guy is a joke!

I don't . Sorry

There is two versions of these emblems. The early year like mine XC70 the emblem comes only with new airbag ( ridiculous) The newer is a bit bigger and can purchase d separately.

@@volvosweden wow that’s a stupid idea of Volvo to do that. But you have the same steering wheel as me I believe, the r design one? Maybe you can find something to fit.

a shit load of money!!!

Yo tengo Bluetooth de fabrica y solo se conecta para llamadas!

Yes this is normal with a tune. Will not impact car. It is because of a checksum difference between ECU and CEM.

Si votre moteur est le L4 2.0 TDCI de chez Ford/PSA (136ch), je n'irais pas au-delà de 150ch sans démontage, surtout que sur ce moteur, à l'inverse de la famille Volvo D5, le système de dépollution n'est pas aussi optimal (EGR et FAP non prévus pour la vie du véhicule) donc encrassement plus fréquent. A moins que votre moteur soit clean, 100% d'autoroute à 3000 trs/minutes régulièrement, le risque est de pousser le turbo dans ses retranchements tout en étant encrassé et donc d'accélérer sa perte. A 173 000 km, il y a des chances pour que le turbo ait déjà un jeu, je démonterais d'abord / ferais vérifier par un pro pour être sûr. Si tout est ok, vous devriez pouvoir arriver à 160ch. Les derniers moteurs 2.0 TDCI ont été poussés par Ford à 160ch mais ils ont probablement changé des pièces entre la période 2007-2009 et 2018 donc pas si évident à dire sans connaître ce moteur en détail. Possédant le D3 163 sur la même voiture, je peux vous dire que le surplus de puissance (sans AWD) sera un peu vain à cause de la perte de motricité qui est assez prononcée car le couple est déjà très élevé sur nos moteurs !

@@airfrancerider369 c'est bien ce moteur psa oui. Merci pour cette réponse éclairée, je vais gentiment le garder tel quel !

we even tried Vida tester but that does not work either

stop spending money in time! the prices for this so called "upgrades" are more expensive than your 99' Volvo! I've learned that on the hard way...

There is an option in Vdash to restore. Look for it it’s there.

Yes, aftermarket tuners leave a checksum difference between ECM and CEM. This creates a code for "incorrect software" or something like that. Will not trigger a CEL and does not harm the car. It does let people know that the car has been tuned.

Once you buy a tune, all tunes below it become options. At least that was the case for me. I loaded st2 and could switch to st1 and ORI for no cost.

No.Only P3 platforms.

Its free, you can change as much as you like after you bought the tune.

That's right. Polestar tuning has limited powergains but they make the AT come alive much more, makes for a better driving experience. Still it's far too expensive. Let's hope D5T5 eventually manages to offer both at a €50,- premium when purchasing a tune :-)

not true, polestar change just the engine power map and gearbox addapt it self

@@LadislavMotl Are you sure? Both Polestar and Volvo mention an actual remap, not just adaptation to driving characteristics.

@@threesixty4486 Ladislav is right I have a C30 with the Polestar optimization package and the boost goes up to 15 Psi which is good for the stock turbo as it can go up to 18 psi with no issues but the transmission learns or adapts as you drive it has nothing to do with the tune

Yes!

@@volvosweden but first you need to unlock ECM? You have 5 or 4 cylinder?

If you mean the TFT cluster, yes.

1. Diesel is no problem. It's the same procedure. 2. I don't really know. But Yuri mentioned that you can switch between them as often as you please. 3. No, just works on your Volvo with the VIN you ordered it with. Anything else would be unreasonable for D5T5 and I totally understand that. 4. Have you even watched the video!? Ebay, d5t5.com

@@thyhammer9726 I watched twice, both languages... Just want to know how it works - who create this software so it is cheaper and better than volvo polestar?
