Mrs Cookie has a proper P2 V40 on a W plate, its a 2001 model, (the P1.5 was mainly external changes (projector headlights etc)

quick piccy showing P1 Vs P2 (1.5 looks more like a P2 on outside...

If it is quite an aggressive yet random splutter, then i would definately be going for plugs, plug gaps (close them up 1/10th mm) and try again, rotor arm, leads etc.

The extra boost is finding a...

Hi chris i know how you feel its a rite pain in the bum the next step for me would be a break down in the ignition system either plugs or leads.
With you putting the old ecu back in and still having...

Dont give up! It really does sound like the plugs. The reason I say that is because when I slung that ecu on my V70 it did exactly the same thing, swapped the ecu back and low and behold still...

hope you get it sorted soon chris:)

Did a road trip to Dusseldorf with a mate to pick up an S80 2.5tdi which he had bought on ebay. Nice car.

According to the trip computer I did 483 miles at an average speed of 63mph and...

Please please please unless you definitively know the answer, or have some direct experience of the problem, can you refrain from offering advice in the technical help threads.

One of the best...

Oh is that my old one?? I'm not helping you anymore then :grumpy: taking bits of my old baby :worried:

I had that map for about 2 years so I know its a good un, it would boost to about 1.2 to 1.3...

HLM ECU arrived this morning- thanks for sending it so promptly Hamish- fitted it, removed mbc (to prevent me rods getting out of shape), refitted BCS and had a quick spin round the block...

First...

A remap often shows up a weak BCS (been there done that) so if you still have the problem after a couple of days driving that would be my next port of call.

i know prangster fitted one and im sure his thought it was really good have a look on parts for volvos online as im sure they are selling them

It could be a problem with the boost being unstable i had this problem and put a different boost controller on which sorted the problem

yes

Ask S70Chris about removing the MAF from the pipe... Don't pull it straight pull it out at and angle.

The best way i find to fit them is to use a head bolt or alike with some big washers and it goes in nice and easy

If using a pre ME7 (motronic 4.3-850 T5 or 4.4-70 series T5) 95-98 engine you could always use the standard engine wiring loom, ecu and sensors as you can now buy an ECU with a usb interface which...

A 2005 on T5 has a 6 speed FWD gearbox, 6th is a higher ratio than 5th on a five speed box. I did post up a bit ago the RPM/ speed for all gears in an ST IIRC. The 5 cylinder engine is quite long so...

I thought I saw something in your face when we left, don't worry, I'll make sure he looks after her ;)

I picked up the car yesterday with my mate (PaulT5estate), and il have to say what a spankingly quick car it is. Il post some pics of the beast after its had a good clean.

not too distant...

See harry :) rub the T4 magic lamp and they shall appear lol :D

Ye wot....................LOL......

I have made one and used a Forge item. The forge item does seal better but a homemade one from 3mm stainless plate works well enough if used with some 1mm rubber gasket as the sealing joint. You...

As enigma has said for $20 odd quid you will be 100% sure there will be no leaks i was think about making a plate but realised it wasnt worth messing about making one

O.k ...I think the 993 tt's are excellent, am running them with ds2500's and work great but squeal like ££££.....have been in tims car on a white knuckle ride and believe me those ap's are brilliant...

Hello i got myne from ebay and it came with 2 bolts i cant remember what sizes they were there a easy job to do and there is enough room to fit the senders just remember when you have it fitted and...
