2003 V70R advise please

[Engineer]

Took my car to the Volvo main dealer today & had the software updates done on the suspension & engine ecu, both accepted the new software so the tech told me that they had not been updated at all in the past so wasn't a wasted visit. He said you won't feel any difference straight away as it takes a few miles for it to adapt to the new updates, seems a bit strange to me but what do you think ?

Go and drive it and tell us lol ECU's are adaptive so yes..............?

Yep as said everything adapts now so will take a bit to settle down, especially on the power side of things.

Thought i'd drag up this old post !! I've still got my V70 R after 3yrs of ownership & its been 100% reliable. I never did change the boost solenoid, it still feels breathless above about 4500rpm & flat spots but its the wifes car really so she's not bothered. I bought myself a E39 M5 facelift model 2 months ago so now the R feels quite slow ! Won't get rid of the R though for a few yrs yet, its a great family car !
