2010my D5 remap

[shawky]

Hi Folks,

Newbie here with a first post

I've just bought a 2009 MY2010 S80 D5 R-Design SE Premium and wondered if anyone has tried a remap on the new twin turbo D5's.

I can't seem to find anything about the new ones on the forums.

I'm considering a Rica remap as they seem to be the only ones listing the new D5.

Any info appreciated.

Cheers

Lots of people out there claimimg ECU re-map for the D5/205bhp/TT.

Given age of your car - I would be tempted to go down the Volvo in-house partner Polestar route. Not sure if they retrofit ECUs, you would need to check. At least they would (probably) honour any warranty issues if anything were to go untoward, plus not "overwrite" the software everytime it was serviced.

Got to be 10% uplift in power/torque.

EDIT:

Volvo XC90 owners can now specify a retrofit engine software enhancement that adds 20hp and 50Nm of torque to the standard car, enhancing performance and drivability. The Polestar upgrade is also available on S80, V70, XC70, XC60 and outgoing S60 models.

Sorry Shawky - I have a horrible feeling that the 20bhp increase is in relation to the "old D5" ie EUIV with 185bhp and not your D5 (EuIV) with 205bhp. Because you are new - there is an even older D5 (EuIII) with 163bhp. If you are confused now ....Volvo are as of Sept 10, taking orders for EU V with ~200bhp. If you are confused now - just wait until you enter the "mud slinging world" of Volvo ECU tuners - you have been warned

I agree with the above...go into your local dealer and see if you can get the polestar upgrade, as your warranty will still be valid and you should get a decent performance upgrade.
