Hello.
has anyone tried make diesel work with cvt?
i have no idea how it would or would not work out for me, i think of putting 2.0L diesel engine instead of 1,4 B14
from theoretical aspect i shouldn't be much of a difference as vacuum has both, but thinking of maybe if i should run diesel with same rpm's as gas- wouldn't it just kill engine?
maybe as 2.0L diesel would be more powerful, vacuum starts working at lower rpm's, because it has enough power to move that box

Well there's your main problem really.

Volvo's R&D did try however. The point is, you can't change that much in the variomatic gear ratios without compromising clutch life. Either way, you'd end up with a diesel with a top speed of 60 mph
