Ill sort the DCC out over the next couple of days for sure and report back.

Update:

I have solved the running issues and the car now runs like a dream.

Basically I had encountered hunting at idle and misfire on open throttle.

I replaced the plugs with NGK Platinum PFR7B's, new bosch dizzy cap and rotor arm and new Volvo HT leads... still no avail and problematic. Next I tried a good known coil pack... still no use. Next the fuel injectors and injector rail, you guessed still playing up.

So before I tired the fuel pump I came up with one last idea... ECU.

Well, what can I say... popped in a Mapped non TT ECU and it ran perfectly, thus leading to the conclusion the Turbo-Tuner isnt running right. Fortunately Adam being the gent he is is on the case.

So where are we now? Well I have no idea but its pushing 1.35 bar on WOT in 3rd gear so moving fairly swiftly!

Ill await the repair of the Turbo-Tuner, re-load the MTE map and see how it runs.

Looks pretty nice mate, needs to lose that suspension though

Mmm, I wonder why??? Im still undecided what to do but if I change them I'm most certain ill be popping a more standard setup back on most likely with 40mm springs... these country roads are far too harsh for coilovers.

My god though then you really give it beans can you tell the difference, the handling in the bends is like no other Volvo (bar Woody's!) I've been in.

good news mate glad u got it sorted still waiting to see this R

The coilovers did seem a tad harsh (bouncy) but I went round the corners more stable than if I was in mine, no wash out at all and I'm sure it lifted a wheel :-) if you can live with them, keep it as it is but if its going to be your daily ....... Mmmmm I think you may tire of them. IMHO

Thanks Neal... always appreciate an opinion from a professional!

I think if they were set up correctly then maybe they would improve? However I question if its worth it as it will more than likely cost over £100 to do.

Im not going to do anything rash, do some more playing and see how I feel. In any case if I do swap them over they can sit in the garage for a little while until I'm certain.
