Update : Remapping a Cautionary Tale
So After 2 weeks got the car back on last Friday and I must say its awesome. Apparently with the new ECU its in learning mode. Learning not to be a nutter :-) (Not Complaining). Its probably because its had all the latest software upgrades as well. Gearbox is sharper, kick down and all round is more responsive.
In the end it cost me just over a grand with some VOC discount. so well pleased. Also credit where credit is due the service Dept at Bristol Street Motors Derby, especially Luke where great can't thank them enough.. IMG_4616 2.jpg

Be carefull with remapping! I ran a 59reg 2.4d with a 175ps to 240ps remap by Rica and my turbo didn't appreciate it anymore after 5 years of ownership...
Extra power is nice; but don't use it all the time and hang on to the car for to long!! |

He's got Polestar upgrade which is supplied and approved by Volvo so considerably less likely to cause problems compared to a third party remap.

Its Polestar and only added around 30 to the BHP so it should be able to handle that. to be honest its the gearbox software upgrade thats changed the car for the better..
