Might well do that......I'm in Norwich but have to come down Lymington way for work sometime in next couple of months, will pm you. I had some great experiences in phase 2's, my faves were the 2.5...

This is all great reassurance guys thank you. I've had a bit of a mare driving phase 2 1998 - 9 2.5 autos and 2.4 turbos with engines being replaced ABS and ETS problems, eeurgghh - enough! So I went...

Cheers MRP.
TBH he's been recommended by a few people so I'm resolved to go there. It's just I've been warned off of non Volvo remaps a bit too and there are no written guarantees with HLMs work so...

Yeah he was funny on the phone....I said something like 'been warned against non Volvo remaps as it messes with reading data from vida afterwards' to which he said something like 'tell me about the...

Well well....had quite a day of investigation when should have been working :slap:
Spoke to a Rica agent who has stopped installing them because its so hard to get past security, described lack of...

I've been told about 5 or 600 for a Polestar or Rica stage 1.

Thanks - will look into this. Just to clarify...when approaching roundabouts I've gone from braking (rather than coasting) to hard acceleration - that is when the delay happens worst.
I've this car...

Of course Kph.........ahem :littleang

Thanks MRP. Surely my 2008 D5 doesn't have a twin Turbo?
I'm slightly worried that I won't be able to get a remap as -just for my particular year - there was no polestar available. Mine was the...

Thanks for all the posts.
@redbrick - just had the car test driven by very experienced master tech and Volvo nut - he said car was behaving as it should.
The car is actually not too bad at all...

@smithy yeah had HLM recommended by Volvo parts in Swaffham, Norfolk just earlier. Bromsgrove is a bit of a mission from Norwich but Wrights in Attleborough was also recommended and they are about...

Cool thanks mate, I'm in Norwich, Norfolk, but I travel about a lot so where are you.
Well now twin turbo really would solve all my probs - didn't know Volvo had got into them.

Hi Frankie - thanks for that - I was just starting to feel like a remap would solve my probs......
The delay is a freakin joke and I just can't live with it so not sure whether to think Smithy who...

@Smithy - thanks mate, I guess this is the kind of encouragement I'm looking for to help make this decision - or someone to rave about the 3L. I'm going to speak to the local rika supplier on Monday....

Sadly only the 185....hold it what am I saying? That is impressively powerful once it is up and running. Worrying isn't it? Am turning into a horse fetishist! now 185 of them cannot satisfy me...

v70 graham - thanks mate - yeah I've been told around 500 - 600 for a rika stage 1. I'd go for it in a flash if I didn't feel the need to change the alloys and get a spoiler as well!

Wow this such a cool forum - so many replies when I thought everyone would be on the beach or barbying. Instead you must all be waxing your motors lol......

@jamesy - yes but me old V70 2.5 petrol 1998 auto...

From 760 turbo intercooler, through phase 2 v70's of different specs to this new V70 D5 auto has been quite a journey. My month old 2008 D5 has been a thrill - in many ways its awesome, but the...
