There isn't any where up here that have half a clue about volvos. I got mine done when I went to mrg beside swindon. If you had jap stuff there are plenty of places.
oh dam it was thinking of going to Wallace for a remap
Lol I phoned them and they never called back, I can't be bothered with companys like that
I now they do remaps I was going to get my 2.0 turbo remaped from them
Why dont you just get a map from a known volvo tuner
Have they ever remapped your type of car. I phoned around up here once and none had done an R which begs the question are these people any good! Put a post on t5d5 and ask the question there as they should have a better idea if the ecutek map wallace are using is any good.
i tried wallace and several others with no luck, they said it was not worth the money to pay for all the stuff they would need to tackle volvos as not many volvo drivers tune anything!! since then i have spent a small fortune @Shark Performance and others ...

[QUOTE=volvos60t;590524]i have been informed by some people to try them so mite give them a shout[/QUOTE] they are popular for the focus stuff and they have scoobys etc sitting outside all the time, i went in this time last year and the guy just gave me a flat out no we don't do volvo and have no interest in them!:cussing: [QUOTE=volvokid;590331]I didn't realise your beast was up here, I've never seen it.[/QUOTE] its just a blurrrr!!!!!!:haha: [QUOTE=volvokid;590538]Shark or mte are the future :)[/QUOTE] nothing like a road trip to shark!:B_steerin
Haha if we ever meet you will have to see how it performs against the proper volvos :o
I tried a remap on my SatNav once, I ended up going in the wrong direction! ;)
[QUOTE=volvokid;591691]Haha if we ever meet you will have to see how it performs against the proper volvos :o[/QUOTE] yeah, would be good to have some kind of local meet, most of them are a bit far away for me. at least i will spot yours, not many that colour up here! giving some thought to a bit of knockhill training this summer:rally_dri but i need to keep the car good for next year.
Yeah we should meet I wouldn't mind seeing a new T5 with proper power. I did knockhill in my dads old T5 it wad a hoot. There are pictures in my album.
marct1980;Have you found a good dedicated volvo mechanic yet for your car?
[QUOTE=Jimmie;592248]marct1980;Have you found a good dedicated volvo mechanic yet for your car?[/QUOTE] dedicated volvo mechanic? - Not really, i have a great local indy garage that will do just about anything i can't manage, SHARK for all the mapping needs etc, i prefer to stay away from the dealers as they have a big dislike to aftermarket parts on the car and love to wipe a remap when they get the chance! would probably use a VOLVO mech if there was a good one out there!!??!!
Care to share the details of this great mechanic?
A.M Cars, in Findon, had a few jobs from them now, they fitted my coilovers for me, the rear roll bar and the rear adjustable camber arms, first MOT just the other week, thats just the volvo in the past year, taken all my other cars there as well never had a bad experience yet. In fact when i went for the MOT last week the guy "reminded" me that i still had not settled up for the rear arms £50 which was done almost a year ago! i told him he should have phoned me and he just laughed and said we knew you would be back, pay us when you have the cash.
Awsome I may give them a shout. A good mechanic seems hard to find up here
