Thanks for the knowledge Mike. Can you (someone) dumb this down to a yes or no for me please.
Is it the case that a different D5 motor from a later model like XC90, with all the peripherals removed and replaced with the ones from my damaged motor will not fit into my 2009 XC70 and work once installed?
Used engines from the same model are scarce and high km. A replacement engine from a newer model - particilarly a XC60 or XC90, would be doable if it will work.
As always I am very appreciative of the knowledge you people have about these cars
