I have a '64 plate D2 with the Powershift, and, having owned loads of automatics in the past (used to live in Canada, plus my recent C5 was an auto), I find that the Volvo Powershift is excellent, easily the equal of a good slushbox. If you want to experience a BAD dual clutch transmission, try the one on my wife's '14 plate Vauxhall Corsa. That has to be the worst box ever - never shifts when you want it to, shifts are slower than molasses in winter, and it sometimes (but not always) severely clunks or bangs between 1st and 2nd. "Normal when they've done less than 7000 miles," says my local dealer. We'll see when we get to that far, if ever - neither of us likes driving the thing.

LOL sorry guys my bad....don't know why I keep saying powershift. Yes the Geartronic auto box. I need a vacation
But anyway, PierreC try Veloce Performance in Centurion http://www.plugandplaychip.co.za/ Spoke to them, they can do software on our car's for a very very good price, with dyno before and after. Standard After Difference Power 110.4 kW / 150 hp 147.2 kW / 200 hp 36.8 kW / 50 hp Torque / traction 350 Nm 450 Nm 100 Nm They do it by Boot method, and have done it before. Thinking of taking a drive there and find out more. Last edited by Gotcha; Nov 3rd, 2015 at 11:18. |

The upgrade on my previous XC70 was a file shipped to me from Sweden as a software file - I plugged a UDBII adapter into my laptop's USB port and loaded the "tune" - took all of 3 or 4 minutes and the car was transformed!

PierreC, miskien kan jy my pm, met jou epos adres, sal graag notas wil uitruil aangesien jy opsoek is na wat ek is. Ek kan nog nie pm's stuur nie....
I am a little worried in the boot method.... Would love to Rica, if it wasn't for the stupid pin code. Quote:
I wonder if all pin codes on the ECU's are the same.... |
