Some companies build their maps based on the car so its their own map which they can send out in a handheld device for you to update your car. So it isnt specific to your car but it is specific to that engine.

If your mapper buys a map of someoene else for your car, I dont really see whats wrong with that? if someone that has more experience in mapping that car has a base map, for your mapper to then tailor to your car sounds fine to me?

As mentioned, this is just a stage 1 map so you should be fine for whoever. Going further down the road you would defenitly need a custom map and an experienced volvo mapper but that is a completly different kettle of fish.

You main goal will be to improve drivability of the car but also know that if any issues do arise, the garage will not be that hard to get to. Using specialists means not only would you have to go a way to get your car there .... but also they all have massive ques of volvo's waiting for work to be done. Been to both Shem and Tim's and their work is great which is why they are so busy ... but also they struggle for time ... and more so time management.
