I have a V70 with the D4 VEA and it feels like it can’t handle the torque though it has rubbish front tyres - also the economy isn’t great - I’m wondering if the remap makes this worse?
I agree traction may not be the best from start, especially if on FWD only, but it pulls a lot better when cruising. Fuel economy tends to improve after remap, however there's also external factors such as the carbon buildup (clogs manifold and emap pipe, causes sticky egr valves/swirl flaps, etc), boost leaks or maybe the remap quality itself. Regards.
@@GSAuto681 thanks, useful to know - I've just finished cleaning the last part of the puzzle which was the EMAP pipe which was clogged but a pain to get off (blowtorch cleared that carbon out!) - that has improved the MPG and driveability loads - this was after doing the full EGR cooler, intake manifold and valves (purchased at 180k) plus de-ash of the DPF - in theory it's as "clean" as can be!
rica 257hp 550nm is best you can get. destroys all cars, gti s3 none of them keep up! 0-100 about 5.5 max speed 260
I can highly recommend a Rica TCU map to go with the ECU map. Much faster shifts and much more responsive.
You need manual shifter, much better.
the gearbox is about to shit out of your side... the gearbox is working at its maximum capacity
Planning on getting my v60 d4 remapped is it worth getting the dpf out aswell??

Wanna get rich boy ? Come to belgium the graveyard is full of volvo's
What Volvo models can you do that remap for, mate?
Hi, this procedure is compatible with most Volvo engines/models. Feel free to contact me if you would like more information. Regards!
