Default 30677022 ecm upgrade die

When i was at the dealer they offered me for free the oillevel and dpf regeneration ecm upgrade
I noticed that afterwarths the engine was a bit more powerful

-Could it be that they reloaded the ""d5" software instead of the 2.4d or isnt that possible at all?
- How about my remaps? Will those dpf and oil level upgrades be unchanged when the remap is set back?
-Or need Rica this software to alter it again so the changes will stay?

They would have put in a slightly modified vesion of the software which was originaly in there .
It has probably wiped out your rica software , you are supposed to tell them the software isnt standard before you start .. and if you put the RICA back in it is likely to ruin the oil level and regeration mods just done . but we dont know what goes on inside the software do we ..

I came with the standard software in ,(i have a softlader with the maps)
I can put this software in the softlader to upload it to their server to modify it
But can it be they loaded the 185 hp d5 software on accident?

No it is impossible to load the wrong software at the dealer .

Found that the engine is not only more powerfull compared to standard software since the upgrade but also a bit "nervous"
Also if you accellerate in low gears and want to break on the engine it seems to take a full second before fuel is completly cutoff
Anyone the same experience?

If you send your new files to Rica, they can then send you an updated version of the remap to suit your new files from Volvo.
