Volvo XC70 2004 2.4 D5 AWD engine D5244T
Engine reliability and common problems:
These diesel engines are frequently affected by intake manifold swirl flap seizures. This issue often leads to airflow disruptions and rough engine operation.The actuator for the turbocharger, which relies on plastic gears, tends to wear out quickly. As these gears degrade, the actuator may stop functioning properly, affecting boost control.
Hydraulic lifters are sensitive to poor-quality oil. In some cases, they start producing knocking noises as early as 100,000 km. Ignoring these sounds can result in rocker arms popping off the lifters, leading to significant and costly engine repairs.
A known critical failure point is the accessory belt. If it breaks, it can get caught in the timing belt, causing severe engine damage.
At higher mileage, cylinder liners have been known to crack, allowing coolant and oil to mix—an issue that typically signals major internal wear and requires serious repair.
Overall, this engine can last around 360,000 to 600,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
