v50 D5 tuning

robg · Sep 29th, 2006, 14:22

I have a new V50 D5 geartronic. I fancy getting it tuned probably a RICA by volvo tuning.

My worry is that i beleive the V50 uses a different (more compact?) version of the geartronic box to other D5 engined cars. Does anyone know if it could still handle the 450Nm + of torque?

I am worried the extra torque could cause over-revving due to torque converter slipage, or even break something!

Thanks

Hi, as the D5 in the V50 is relatively new, try posting in the V50 section - I'm sure other owners of that car will be interested in what you find out
