Ozvaldo;133706 wroteOk this great .. have a few more questions after I did 400kms today ..
1. Does advance mode actually add more power ?
2. Turbo lag is more then I expected .. but maybe I'm comparing to the mk7 golf r
3. Is DSTC the same as plain old traction control?
4. Im taking it for service this week .. should I be advising the mechanic anything over and above what's expected ? Ie full synthetic oil only or don't matter etc
Sorry for the many questions !
1. No, this is suspension setting only
2. Its a 2004... it has turbo lag, the turbo is way bigger than the one in the golf.... volvo left quite a bit in reserve
3. No, its stupid stability control
4. Full syn oil. I recommend only a diet of Penrite HPR10,
Also... the Gearbox is due for new fluid (75w90 full syn GL4) and the rear diff is due for new fluid (75w90 full syn GL5), you should also consider servicing the Haldex unit (Volvo oil and filter only) as well as the angle gear (75w90 full syn GL5)
Have you checked to make sure the timing belt has been done once already?
