Rica ECU T5 wow!!

[Peter T]

Just had my T5 ECU reflashed with the Rica software.What a big difference, not in just terms of overall power and torque but just the way the car now drives.
Got mine done by Charlwood Volvo in Horley, what a good outfit they are.
Certainly changed the way i drive it now.

I'm thinking of having mine done too soon. It depends what it needs doing at the next service whether I can afford to or not, but I am tempted by the RICA PPC when it gets launched.

It's odd - that never ending search for more power - when I got the car, it was the quickest thing I'd owned, and then you always find situations where you're wanting more.

Have you had it off the clock yet!

If you get a good on [like mine ] they can be ferocious. Although I am not a flat out kind of person, my midrange is where it excels.

I'm with you on the PPC route. I'm assuming you can have a few settings - so standard, mega bhp or one for tootling around in traffic and having best mpg.

I'd have it set up at a garage though if it's not too expensive. I was going to use RT which is close, but may go up to Birmingham since they know the car from previous owner. (Mind, that's a few £££s spent on fuel so maybe not!)

I'm curious about other functions it might have. I heard the Bluefin device for Fords could immobilise the car completely to prevent it from being stolen.

If you were going away for a while and leaving the car, that type of function would be quite reassuring - it wouldn't matter even if they had the keys!

I can now report that after 700 miles my fuel consumption has increased, so now there is an added benefdit to having it re-mapped.

Anyone had a XC90 done? I've got the 2.4D 163bhp and interested as to the difference it would make?
