Can D5's be chipped ?

In addition to a 105K 850est GLT, I've got a Mar02 V70 D5 - never thought I'd enjoy diesel driving so much - its the T5 levels of torque that does it..
Anyway - other that it being a no-no for warranty reasons, I wonder if its possible to chip D5's for more performance......

As it is an electronically controlled diesel why not check with the manufacturers of "Chipping devices". If you subscribe to "Diesel Car" there are plenty of firms advertising their wares to run up quite a 'phone bill.

All the best, Peter.

Seeing that the likes of Superchips and co seem to support most Volvos, one would expect then to have one. Having said that, seeing that the D5 is still quite new, one wonders how long it takes to develop and test such a chip.
