Reconditioned Volvo Engine on an exchange basis

Volvo Diesel Engines 2016 to 2019: from the Five-Cylinder D5 to the Four-Cylinder D2

Between 2016 and 2019, Volvo ran two quite distinct diesel architectures alongside each other across its XC90, XC60, V60 and S90 models. The D5244T and the D5244T4 both refer to the 2.4 D5 five-cylinder block; if you are searching by engine code, check which one appears on your engine plate before placing an order, as these two references are not interchangeable. Alongside these, the move to four cylinders is represented by three distinct codes: D5204T2 for the 2.0 D3, D4204T14 for the 2.0 D4, and D4162T for the 1.6 D2. This last is the smallest in the range and is found only on the V60 during this period.

Identifying the Engine Code on These Volvo Models

On Volvo models of this generation, the engine code is stamped directly on the block and also appears in the manufacturer's documentation (Swedish registration document or type-approval data sheet). The same body style — the XC90, for example — can carry either the D5244T or the D5244T4 depending on the year of production and the trim level: an identical engine capacity (2.4 litres) is not enough to determine the correct reconditioned engine. The seven-character code is essential. For the modern four-cylinder units (D5204T2 and D4204T14), mix-ups are less common, but power output varies from one version to another — here again, only the stamped code is definitive.

Two Purchase Options Depending on the Condition of Your Block

The bare engines in this collection are available on an exchange basis or as a rebuild of your own unit. The second option involves returning your original block, which is then reconditioned and sent back to you — useful if your engine has specific modifications or if you wish to retain traceability of the original unit. Both options cover all five engine codes in this range, subject to availability by reference.
