To all volvo D5 owners please check your fuel filter has been changed, my D5 engine was slowly but surely being starved of fuel over many years because the fuel filter was blocked due to lack of being changed by my local garage at the required service interval (35,000 miles, 56,000 km) will transform performance of your engine if your filter is blocked or partially blocked !
Aisin gearboxes are only rated to 450nm max hence why Polestar tune only goes to 440nm. You can tune these engines to much more but gearbox is the weakest point. Hope it works out for you and we wont be seeing a video soon on how to change the gearbox on XC70. I have a 12’ XC70 D5 and a lot of your videos have helped with maintenance and upgrades. Keep up the good work.

Hell yeah! I ordered a new DICE just because of D5T5! Recently bought a new S80 (07) and got a good deal on key from dealer but gonna save hundreds using D5T5 to flash key to car
@@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?
Polestar has always been too conservative (And expensive) in their tune. This one sure is easy and inexpensive. But there are tunes that give much better power (without hardware upgrade). But those tunes need removing ECU and have it connected to a PC directly. But the process is only a few minutes. My XC70 got from 197HP to 280HP and 390Nm in half an hour. They can even fine-tune the ECU to match your driving habits/preference. But that's another story. D5T5 sounds worthy of a try as it's much easier to access than engaging a good tuner.
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!! ;-)
I would be more conservative as the TF-80SC is limited to handle 440Nm of torque and is far from being ultra reliable but this is a very nice option to improve engine perf at a very reasonable cost. I might be tempted !
Hey @ volvosweden, I was planning on going for the official Polestar tune for my 2017 XC90. The official one costs $900 and the D5T5 version costs $450. Do you think D5T5 is better? How about fuel consumption and engine life?
Hi, very good informative video. Your gasoline engines sound really very powerful. Too bad you don't have a diesel, I would have been interested. Keep up the good videos.
Hi, good job with this video. I have V70 with the same engine as you B6304T2. I am thinking to go for ST2 240 kW. My question is, did you encounter some problems so far? How the car is shifting gears after optimization from D5T5? Thank you in advance.
Hi from Sweden Thank you for a nice and calm presentation! Could you specify the vida and dice that you used, and where to find it, I suppose there is much cheap crap, that you should not buy. Please comment !
Great content as usual, Thank you. Was interested in the "turning 4c off" Is that to change to less expensive dampers when you need new ones ? Excuse my ignorance if i misunderstand.
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
Interesting but think their numbers are not accurate, I have the 2013 s60 t6 R which here in Canada is 325 hp yet when you go on their site it shows stage 2 for this car will give 246kw which equals to 324 hp .. so something is definitely wrong with Their numbers. I also tried numerous times to add my car into the garage section and it doesn’t let me. You also didn’t mention how much it cost? In $us or Canadian $.
Hi thanks for the video, I have a Volvo V60 hybrid 2015, it's a D6 plus electric engine. Thanks to your video about Polestar I bought Polestar in Spain which is very expensive, we are talking about 900 euro. The d5t5 is a great web but it's a pity that they can't do anything with the electric engine, for instance something like removing the limit about 120 km/h when the electric engine doesn't help anymore will be welcomed or improving the electric engine will be great because for the D6 engine I only gain 20 hp from my Polestar update, now I have a total amount of 300 hp and 20 hp more in the diesel engine is few but if sometime they change something about the electric engine it will be awesome. And about making EGR off, is that a good idea? I don't know about engines so sorry if that one is a stupid question. Thank you kind regards
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 😅
There is a valid reason why Polestar does stay on the safe side with tuning by not overtune the engine. Polestar is recommended by Volvo if you want to tune your Volvo. There are other softwares that probably turn your Volvo in a beast but might lead into blown engines or other issues. If you want your Volvo to last long with high mileage simply don't tune it. Not sure why you want to tune it if you already have 281HP.
Hello, first time, I would like to say thank you for all the videos that I have been following with maximum interest for about 3 years, from which I learned how to do many things for my volvo, I recently purchased a vida dice, I also received the vida 2015a software for free installed and activated by the seller +vidas v2.0, I don't know how to create an account in it, more precisely what must be completed in the identification num,VAT,description thank you very much, have a nice evening

Tried reaching out to D5T5 but the ticket went unread. Quick to market these performance optimizations but fail to provide any details and ignore tickets.
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 :-)
@@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
Privjet. So you dont need to do any physical change on ECM in order to tune? I have a 2009 V70 and like 1 year ago D5T5 could not tune. Regards Swede Make.

Thanks for posting. I've had VIDA DiCE since 2014 for diagnostic work but was waiting on an affordable tune for my 2014 XC60 T6. At this price my wife's 2014 XC70 T6 may also get an upgrade.
It's unfortunate that it does not show the difference in Torque. I have a 2009 XC70 3.2 and the max engine HP increase is 9hp. If there was a big difference in transmission torque I would in interested. Good to know for my next model.
Nice, simple and informative video. Congratulations! I also have a question for you: what is your opinion about Volvo T6 engine, the twin-turbo 2.9 I6? Thanks and keep up the great work!
@@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.

Awesome video man, as always! I have Polestar on my '15 XC70 T6, would you say it's worth switching over to this? I know you mentioned you didn't notice a HP difference, but did you notice smoother shifts, etc? Overall is this tune better than the Polestar Optimization for the XC70 in your opinion?

Please respond asap! 🙏
VDASH Can't read out PIN from my Xc60. VDASH try to read for 37hours my CEM and without luck. And in the end, no PIN avaliable :D. Good luck with yours cars colleagues.
Great video.. what about fuel consumption, is it better. I have a Volvo V60 D5 AWD. Do you know anyone in Scandinavia that have this installed an can assist. I'm located in Denmark.
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.
From what I was told, when Volvo does the Polestar tune they tune not only the engine but also the transmission so that it can hold bigger loads, but the other tunes usually only modify the engine. Can you either confirm or deny that? And what about the D5T5 tune? is it only the engine tune or also the transmission?
My laptop crashed while loading the Optimization file. Now my headlights and tail lights strobe and the car will not start. No lights on dash when key is tuned. How do I restore the ECU?
Has there been any problems with the transmission handling the extra torque. There is a UA-cam video about an Audi that was re-mapped and the clutch (manual gearbox) failed after 9 months, he replaced the clutch but it only lasted 12 months before failing again. The stock clutch could not handle the extra torque.
I don’t see the point going through all this procedure if the s60 R design already comes with the same 246 kw (325)hp .. so I honestly don’t understand what tune this is. Plus when I type my Vin number it’s showing me that my car stock comes with 224 kw (300) which is incorrect. Definitely something wrong with their numbers

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 !

I would be more conservative as the TF-80SC is limited to handle 440Nm of torque and is far from being ultra reliable but this is a very nice option to improve engine perf at a very reasonable cost. I might be tempted !

It's unfortunate that it does not show the difference in Torque. I have a 2009 XC70 3.2 and the max engine HP increase is 9hp. If there was a big difference in transmission torque I would in interested. Good to know for my next model.
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!
Brilliant ! Thanks fella 👍🇬🇧
Nice, simple and informative video. Congratulations! I also have a question for you: what is your opinion about Volvo T6 engine, the twin-turbo 2.9 I6? Thanks and keep up the great work!
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.
For anyone wondering, this does not work for the D5 d5244t10 in 2010 v70
What do you mean doesnt work

Do you run VIDA and Vdash on the same laptop? I was told not to hook up the computer I use for VIDA to a Wi-Fi connection but I know you need to with Vdash. Was wondering if maybe you used the same laptop for both without any problems?
very cool, thanks for sharing
Hi yuri, i have a 2006 S40 T5 automatic, same engine as the V50 you show in this video. I wonder is it posible the tune damages my gearbox? It's my first automatic car and im afraid it will break.
Tried to do the optimization but for some reason it says I need ecm pin but the home screen has no option to download it, I wish d5t5 would reply
I dont get this: I have a 2016 XC60 AWD 250 hp , and the available options are 190KW (254hp) and 200 KW (268hp) , that's it???
Awesome video man, as always! I have Polestar on my '15 XC70 T6, would you say it's worth switching over to this? I know you mentioned you didn't notice a HP difference, but did you notice smoother shifts, etc? Overall is this tune better than the Polestar Optimization for the XC70 in your opinion?
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?
Hello i need help, i cant do in a s60 2.4t, i dont know how to do. What tools i need?
Ahoy, can this software change the V70 1.6D DRIVe 2012 language from Swedish to English? Do you have any video of how to change the dash language?
Any recommended link to buy a DiCE unit?
I noticed your power gauge on the right didn't appear to move....what's it like in S mode ?
I'd be interested in how much mpg you loose
Exactly, although difference might be not that big
2015 v60 T5 2.0 Can this damage the ecu if things go wrong. I just got screwed on a dealer update and had to but a new ecu from them and don't want to buy another.
Same pronlem on my V50, my speedometer also gets blurred when I drive alone 🤣🤣🤣
When I by program on my account I can install it to my car and my friend car with the same engine ?? For one payment ?
You don't have to change parts from your engine?
No. Just Software!
@@volvosweden Can you do this process to NA Volvos?
There is some that can be tuned! Check with VIN
@@volvosweden I am gonna test this to my S40 2.0i
@@volvo_nikolasDo you already have results? I also want to upgrade
I have a Volvo S40 2005 (same face than your V50 and I feel shame to have only a 1.6 Diesel with only 110HP 🙈😄
Hello fellow winnipeger.. Can the device/software enable window roll down with key fob and remote stats..
Very interesting. Thank you 🙏👋😃🇨🇭
Hi friend, after tuned has any problem? My car has effect with ECU cut out the engine everytime when I released a padle on the road then car stop on the road suddenly.the final I found we must go to Vida to adaption ECU, my car work fine until now.
There are no good optimizer for our car, as far as I know . S80 V8 awd.
Nice. But I'd rather not ruin my transmission.
Ha I’m trying to put a big turbo on my xc60 and make like 600 want to make a 10s volvo
Is there another option of another brand and cheaper than Dice to buy?
hello. what about fuel consumption?
Hi, after update soft, you see only power change or you see also power gear change?
You replaced the Thermostat on the XC70 yet?
Hi volovsweden. I had recently bought an XC 60 in August and still trying to understand its functions. My question for you today is, how do I disengage the lock button for the other three doors besides the driver door without pressing the unlock buttons on the two front doors or pressing the unlock button from the driving key??? Please respond asap! 🙏
In the menus can be changed. Look at the manual too.
VDASH Can't read out PIN from my Xc60. VDASH try to read for 37hours my CEM and without luck. And in the end, no PIN avaliable :D.
Good luck with yours cars colleagues.
Great vid. A new sub here. Just wondering what trim is your XC70?
Thx. Not even sure about trim.... It's not fully loaded. What important for me is it's a T6!
What happen with fuelconsumption?
Can this be used to turn off the immobilizer on an 04 xc70? or to make another key?
Great video.. what about fuel consumption, is it better. I have a Volvo V60 D5 AWD. Do you know anyone in Scandinavia that have this installed an can assist. I'm located in Denmark.
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.
Do u notice a difference in fuel consumption?
What windows you need to have to dice work? It don't work on my windows 10 today. Cannot be 10?
From what I was told, when Volvo does the Polestar tune they tune not only the engine but also the transmission so that it can hold bigger loads,
but the other tunes usually only modify the engine. Can you either confirm or deny that? And what about the D5T5 tune? is it only the engine tune or also the transmission?
No reply
Ladislav at D5T5 stated that Polestar only remaps engine,not transmission.The transmission adapts itself.
My laptop crashed while loading the Optimization file. Now my headlights and tail lights strobe and the car will not start. No lights on dash when key is tuned.
How do I restore the ECU?
There is an option in Vdash to restore. Look for it it’s there.
Does the tune works with an LPG installation? I suppose yes as the LPG ECU is calibrated on the main ECU?
Not sure. Email them
@@volvosweden i will thanks
Has there been any problems with the transmission handling the extra torque.
There is a UA-cam video about an Audi that was re-mapped and the clutch (manual gearbox) failed after 9 months, he replaced the clutch but it only lasted 12 months before failing again. The stock clutch could not handle the extra torque.
No problems so far. As I understand the tune is at safe limit for the transmission. Unless you over tune it.
Yuri, what happened with the volvo badge on airbag of XC70 ? Can you show us how to fix this bad look problem ?
I will.
When i get my car tuned into stage 1, can i got back the stock Software later for free ? Or should i pay again?
Its free, you can change as much as you like after you bought the tune.
I don’t see the point going through all this procedure if the s60 R design already comes with the same 246 kw (325)hp .. so I honestly don’t understand what tune this is. Plus when I type my Vin number it’s showing me that my car stock comes with 224 kw (300) which is incorrect. Definitely something wrong with their numbers
oh sweet! my dad aquired a vdash 2.0 today, thats how i located this video! although i have a question for you. we tried to connect vdash with a dice obd2 reader to my own volvo which is a 1998 volvo v70. how come the program is unable to find the car?
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...
After the tune do you get the CEM-3A00 ECM Software faulty signal code?
Yes this is normal with a tune. Will not impact car. It is because of a checksum difference between ECU and CEM.
Really very informative and interesting too. Can you please suggest good modifications/updates for my Volvo xc 60 - 2011 D5 AWD.
What about gas mileage for the xc70
Hey is it possible to tune automatic xc70p2 go faster when I release the break pedal?
@volvosweden thank you for your video. My S80 is a 2.0L diesel 100kw (Europe market) with 173000km. Is there a risk for my engine if I go for 120kw ?
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 !
Hie. Does the d5t5 program transm modules on any platform, especially on th 2014 s60 with powershift. If not, wht can i use when i do a transm swop
I am not sure but feel like it will.
Are there any risks that the tune work reduce engine life or put higher pressure on the engine ?
It's tuned to safe limits. Its the same as Volvo Polestar tune but half the price.
Thanks
Is that only 25,544 km on that V50? Woah.
It is! ua-cam.com/video/eHhn-M7rEvA/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing, by the way can it be done to S60 2.0T of 2005 on similar upgrade?
Take your VIN and search on d5t5 website. You will see what's available
