Hi everyone. Just got myself a tidy 2008 s40 T5 AWD :)
It's all stock at the moment but a stage 1 tune is definitely in the works.
Has anyone had experience with a BSR tune?
Also, would anyone know of a reliable/knowledgeable Volvo specialist in Canberra aside from the dealers (rolfe)?
Is there a search function on the forum, I can't seem to find one :(

@AshDVS can help with a tune and suspension ( he is Guru...) Or Voldat for tune etc as well.
Welcome!

For forum searching, I recommend google over the link above. Just type in your question then put site:ozvolvo.org on the end.
Also, welcome! You should buy an Oz Volvo sticker for your car so others know where to direct their jealousy.

Fellow P1 T5AWD driver here...
Did you get the manual or auto?

Thanks all for the tips and warm welcome :)
How has the P1 (s40 of v50?) been treating you so far Trent?
I got the auto for lazy driving days and so the missus can drive it too but my Liberty 3.0RB 6MT fills the manual void :)

The V50 T5 AWD auto is wifey's car so nothing crazy.
She's a leadfoot around town, so the fuel consumption is higher than it should be.
Had a fuel pressure sensor cause some grief, but apart from a new lower engine mount & AC re-gas, it's been great.
