Volvo XC70 D5 AWD — power calibration to 230 hp
A Volvo XC70 D5 AWD is checked on a 4WD dyno and given a moderate engine software adjustment.
The Volvo XC70 D5 with a 2.4-litre diesel engine and AWD had visited AutoChip before. With the earlier calibration, the 4WD dyno recorded around 225 hp and 510 Nm. On this visit, the owner asked for a slightly stronger file; the video also states that the DPF and EGR systems were disabled.
After the new software was tested, the dyno recorded approximately 230 hp and 515–516 Nm. The increase over the previous AutoChip calibration was therefore modest. The +45 hp and +115 Nm figures in the video title compare the result with the factory ratings of 185 hp and 400 Nm, not with the previous dyno run.
A higher torque target of around 550–560 Nm was discussed, but the technician chose not to pursue it in order to avoid adding unnecessary load to the drivetrain. The final calibration was more moderate, and the video reports no significant black smoke during the test.
