About the generation

What makes the Volvo V50 special

Volvo V50 tuning: the 2.0D and its successors

The V50 2.0D is a 136 hp diesel built from 2004 to 2010. For Volvo V50 tuning with a tuning box it works with the GAN GT. With the update of 2010 to 2011 the 1.6 D2 with 114 hp, the five-cylinder 2.0 D3 with 150 hp and the D4 with 177 hp took over; they use the GAN GT too.

The small 1.6 D with 109 hp, known as DRIVe, ran from 2005 to 2010. The petrol T5 with 230 hp, built from April 2007, is matched to the GAN GT as well.

Questions

Volvo V50 chip tuning: questions

Chiptuning Volvo V50 2.0D: what does the GAN GT add?

In the catalogue the 2.0 D with 136 hp rises to 176 hp with the GAN GT. These are the stated gains for this engine type, not a dyno reading of your car.

Chip tuning Volvo V50 1.6D: which GAN module fits?

The 1.6 D, rated at 109 hp and 240 Nm, reaches 142 hp and 319 Nm with the GAN GT. A Volvo V50 tuned with the GAN module keeps its factory software, checksums and flash counter untouched.

Is a tuning module the same as a Stage 1 tune?

Not quite. Stage 1 usually means an ECU remap without replacing any parts. The tuning module also works without replacing parts, but it does not change the ECU software: it adjusts the sensor signals, comes off in about a minute, and the OFF button in the app restores the factory settings.
