Volvo V40 remapping
Whether your V40 feels underpowered on the motorway or you'd like it to use less diesel, a new engine map can help. We remap the D2, D3, D4 and the petrol T models at home or work, with every job starting from a fault check.
Reasons to remap a V40
- A D2 on a long commute could be set up to stretch each tank further
- Merging onto busy dual carriageways takes more effort than you'd like
- The car drops a gear on every hill when it's carrying passengers
- You want a T4 or D4 to respond more sharply
What a remap changes on a V40
Volvo's factory map is set conservatively for every market. A remap updates the boost, fuel and timing settings, so the V40 pulls more strongly in the gears you use most and needs fewer downchanges.
Work worth pairing with a V40 remap
Carbon cleaning
A high-mileage diesel V40 with intake carbon build-up may benefit from a carbon clean at £125 + VAT before a Stage 1.
Gearbox map
If your V40 has an automatic gearbox, we can map it for £195 + VAT, or £440 + VAT with the engine.
What we do about it
We read the codes on your V40 and copy its software before anything else. Then the map is written for £275 + VAT, and we check the codes again before handing back the keys.
Will I feel the change on everyday V40 journeys?
Yes. The car pulls more readily from low revs, which helps in town and on the motorway alike.
Can a remap improve my V40's mpg?
An economy map on a D2, D3 or D4 is designed to. How much you save depends on your mileage.
Should faults be fixed before the V40 is remapped?
Yes. If our code read finds a fault, it should be repaired before the car is mapped.
Can a remap cause problems on a V40?
A properly written map on a healthy V40 shouldn't. That's why the fault check comes first.
