Ok, so last year I bought a 2006 XC90 D5 Euro 4. I already had a 2004, 163 BHP XC90 but the additional BHP is certainly apparent in the 06 model. Thing is, there was a Polestar blue badge on rear lower door of the car when I bought it; although it wasn't sold or bought as a Polestar car. Wondering if anyone out there can advise if they know of a way to find if the badge is actually just a 'cosmetic' thing (bought from Amazon or the like). As I understand it, Polestar remapping is only done only by Volvo dealers but is there any way an owner can determine whether the ECU has in fact been re-mapped without going back to a Volvo dealer to check the history?
