I know a few people on here have had an engine remap or "chipped". Just wanted to know peoples thoughts on it. Pros / cons... I'm considering having it done. Possibly by an ecu magic in Manchester, I liked what I read on their website.
what car have you got i have a volvo 850 t5 and had a chip from hamish all i can say is imho there 100% brilliant i have had no problem the car is more responsive all i would say is stick to a person or company that have done lots f volvos like hamish rt machnics mte i have never heard about ecu magic in manchester they might be very good but i would preffer to stick to tried and tested
I have an S40 1.9d sport. I was kinda wanting to go somewhere that had done a good few volvos. So somewhere within a reasonable distance of manchester that you would reccommend would be great or if they do site installation, even better.
Hello im unsure if they do the same process as the 850,s rica and otherfirms do a postal service for the ecu but with sending the ecuoff theres one down side and that is that you will not have your car cheacked and fault codes given you best bet is to try and find some one that has or have had a s40 and ask them where to go i know a moderator called al has had one or got one also enigma666 has had s40's at the end of the day if theres a good firm 200miles away i would go to them as i said try to stick to a tried and tested remap firm try starting another thread up asking wheres the best place for a s40 remap
Where's abouts in the country is hamish? thanks.
