Im pretty sure its the 102, as that is what it comes up with when i put the reg in on comparison sites. They made a 102bhp and 115bhp model of the S40's in 2002/2003, but i think the V40's only had 115bhp models (from an old sales book i read).

With diesels you can 2 remaps, and eco one and power one, plus its different on all cars, some get less gains than others. Mine would get a 20% gain on the eco one, which would make quite a difference, and up to 15% more economy, but more like 5-10%, still, thats an extra 5mpgish on motorway driving. Would probably be worse in town, but thats because of the grin factor!
