Hi
I have a V40 1.6l (non turbo) and think it needs more power. Is a chip that`s found on ebay (to over stear the signal being sent to the ECU ex.http://cgi.ebay.com/MAX-HP-Rac-Chip-For-Volvo-S40-V50-S60-V70-S70-C70_W0QQitemZ8047432487QQcategoryZ33598QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) usefull, does it works?

That won`t work, it`s a scam. In that little box is a resistor you can buy for zero money locally and all it will do is harm the engine.

Sorry dude, the 1.6 without turbo is not a tuner`s engine, the best thing to do would be to buy another car with a stronger engine.

I can't help you with your problem, but I've got one of my own. I'm looking to buy a 2000 V40 with a 1.6 non-turbo, and was wondering about gas mileage. What is the miles per gallon, and give me a breakdown of city/hwy. I've found tons of research on the 1.9, and it gets about 25 combined, but nothing on the 1.6. I would really appreciate your expert advice.
thanks,
Rob
