Race Chip V40 D4 (2012)

[aston76]

Hello everyone,

Sorry for my bad English, I'm Switzerland

I bought a V40 D4 of 2012 with 85000km.

For now very happy I will later put a power box.

I saw on this page a box race chip:

Obviously the gain in air interesting, but I wanted to know if the engine and the box can withstand such a difference in power.

Otherwise what advise me?

Thank you in advance.

I would avoid any upgrade other than Polestar. There are a lot of bad engine remaps out there that can cause serious problems down the line. Actually thinking about it your MY doesn't have a Polestar map available - it first appeared for 2015 D4s. A D4 has lots of power anyway, so enjoy the ride .

I wouldn't waste your money on a chip or tuning box, the race chips ones are very expensive and I've had issue with on fitted on a previous car, where it work fone for a few months then kept putting the car in limp mode with overfueling/fuel pressure issues, removed the tuning box and no further issues.

Any decent remap will be better than a chip and not that much more, I got my D3 remapped at a garage I trust and that was £195, and goes to 200bhp, map is brilliant transformed my C30, and not massive amount of black smoke on full throttle.

Was that a polestar remap? I thought only Volvo had access to the software. I agree that you shouldn't mess around with chips. More trouble than they are worth. I knew a bloke who had his Volvo 2.5T engine's liners split after getting it chipped.
