Volvo xc90 chip's
I have been looking on E Bay and seen that there are quite a few of these chips that inprove MPG and power. They vary from around 75 up to say 350 pounds. Has anyone used any of these and if so what have you found. I am tempted to try one of the cheaper ones to see how it goes.Matt

Sorry I put this in the wrong place.Doh!

Hi, Matt. Ive put a £90 chip into my d5 163bhp manual xc90 and it flies. Massive difference in performance. Has effected mpg but only because my right foot is very heavy (as is the rest of me!). No problems with engine system. has been fitted for one year now and i won't be taking it out anytime soon! Just be careful on insurance though.

Cheers for the reply. Where abouts did you buy it from?
|
Ebay, believe it was dtuk but can't remember
|
I have one of those plug-in boxes, a Panoramiq DTK, which I paid nearly £300 for. Made a hell of a difference to throttle response when fitted, and mpg was marginally better, but I took it off because Direct Line won't insure a car with any mods (unhelpful to$$ers).
I might be persuaded to part with it........................... PM me if you're interested and make me an offer, it's been tried & tested on a 185 D5 and it certainly works. |
Hi Chris, did you do much research in to these "boxes" before you picked this one?

Chip and Direct line insurance

It may be that if you have been with them for a long time and had previously declared the mod they will cover it, but they won't accept any new policies if you have any engine mods of any kind. barstewards. |
