I have a 2003 XC 70 D5 engine (163bhp) and want the ecu remapped to around 200bhp but I’m having problems. It appears that it can’t be done on my car because the ecu has a chip that won’t talk to the remappers. So this will have to be unsoldered from the ecu and a ‘talkative’ one re-soldered in.

Quantum want the agent to remove the ecu and send it to them, but the agent doesnt want the overall responsibility. Celtic will do it but there is no warranty, and general remappers don’t have the mppf???????? to talk to the ecu to do the remapping via the obd socket...

Can anyone shed light, assist or help or am I stuck with it as it is (or buy another car)

Many thanks in anticipation.
