Really, thanks.
Seriously though, the earlier cars have adaptive ECUs. Even my late model 440 2.0i did and that was a 1995 model.
Come to think of it, even our old 1995 Zuki Swift had a 'learning ECU' albeit rudimentary.

the white section is 1 bar, so the end of the white is ~15psi and the start is 0 psi.

as std it should rise smoothly to about half way - 2/3rd's.

Whilst on ECU's can you reset them as in when I changed to Shell Optiplop as someone referred to it, I pulled the plug on my Impreza for an hour, then went for a hard drive, what a difference!

Goes up to about 1mm from the end of the white section briefly then settles to about 2/3 - 3/4!

definately not std then, the above does indeed suggest\confirm the rod has been shortened. That would also explain why you car made more on the rollers.

Hi Matt (bobcat),
Can I ask, do you now work for SW Autos?
You seem to have quite a knowledge of Volvos and tuning them!
You appear to be the voice of SW Autos!

I'd suggest sticking to the technical department rather than the PR department.

You seem good at the technical stuff.
