The Volvo 1.6D 16V 110 BHP engine responds extremely well to a stage 1 remap. Not only do you get a massive amount of torque, you also get lots of top end power so you can keep pulling all the way through the rev range. Our online remapping service can provide a custom written tuning file with all parameters optimised to the Volvo ECU software, the software is written in house from your original ECU software.

Stage 1 – DPF safe (138 BHP | 280 Nm)

Our stage 1 remap provides constant and increased torque through the entire rev range whilst remaining well within the safe limits of your clutch, dual mass flywheel and turbo charger. The torque delivery will be smooth and stable and it won’t drop off in the higher RPMs like the stock mapping, making your Volvo 1.6D much more fun to drive.

We’ve designed our stage 1 remap to run cleanly and in unison with the DPF system, this means that there is no increased risk of clogging the DPF filter as long as regular long journeys are undertaken by the vehicle.

Most customers also see a small economy gain during normal driving conditions.

You can program the ECU yourself using our online remapping service. For this we recommend to use the Kess V2 tool. With this tool you can you program directly over the OBD port.

If you prefer to send the ECU to us for the programming work, you can use our postal remap service.

Stage 1 + Full Power Remap (143 BHP | 295 Nm)

The full power stage 1 remap from HDI Tuning will take your Volvo 1.6D 110 to 143BHP and 295Nm. You can run a performance down pipe and exhaust system when using the Stage 1+ Remap.

We’ve developed our 1.6 remaps not only to give optimal performance, but also to remain within the limits of the stock hardware of your vehicle such as the dual mass flywheel and the clutch, and most importantly the turbo.
When a DPF is removed the pressure ratio across the turbine is increased, and hence the spooling characteristics of the turbo charger will be changed significantly. Our stage 1 remap completely re-writes the control parameters of your VNT turbo to suit the change in pressure. This not only enhances the smoothness of your torque curve, it also protects your turbo from over boosting. HDI Tuning’s remaps are the only 1.6 HDI remaps designed to protect your turbo charger.

The Stage 1+ Remap is more aggressive and when used on a vehicle with a particle filter there is an increased risk of clogging, it’s important to do regular long journeys to avoid that risk.

Stage 2

On the 1.6 110 model we generally skip the stage 2 step. The reason for this is so that we don’t over stress the turbo, we like to keep our remaps safe and reliable. Instead, if we want more power we need to fit a larger or stronger turbo charger such as a GTD1244VZ and also a larger intercooler. That’s not to say you won’t get more power if you’re running a Stage 1+ remap with an intercooler and exhaust upgrade, you definitely will, we just won’t push the turbo any harder than the Stage 1+ settings as these have proven to be safe and reliable over many years of testing for a standard GT1544V turbo.

Stage 3 – Option 2 GTD1244VZ (155 BHP | 320 Nm)

We have a great option for a turbo and injector upgrade, this upgrade is almost a direct fit and uses the turbo from the newer 1.6 engine.

The GTD1244VZ uses fourth generation Garrett GTD technology which means earlier spool and better top end power. Another plus is that this turbo fits directly on to the stock exhaust manifold.

To run this remap we also require you to upgrade to the 0445110297 injectors, fit a 3.1 Bar MAP sensor, performance down pipe and an EGR blank (for track use only). It’s well worth while to fit an uprated intercooler, with this you can push for nearer to 160 BHP. Please see here for the GTD12 fitment guide.

Price:

Stage 3 – Option 3 (185 BHP | 370 Nm)

The next step up is to build a hybrid GTD12 using a 49mm compressor wheel (please contact for full specifications before building your turbo).

To run this remap we also require you to upgrade to the 0445110297 injectors, fit a 3.1 Bar MAP sensor, performance down pipe and an EGR blank (for track use only). You will also need a large front mount intercooler with a straight through exhaust system of 2.5 inch.

The clutch will need to be upgraded to at least a stage 2 Kevlar clutch, or better is a full stage 3 ceramic paddle clutch.

Please see here for the full fitment guide.

Price:

Stage 4 (205 BHP | 380 Nm)

HDI Tuning have developed a completely custom turbo manifold kit to fit the 1.6 16V engine. The turbo used is a TF035 from a 2.2 Mitsubishi engine with a very modern VNT system. This turbo offers excellent spool and crazy top end power.

Upgrades required:

  • TF035 manifold;
  • TF035 turbo;
  • 3.1 bar or 4 bar MAP sensor;
  • Turbo down pipe;
  • 2.5 inch exhaust system;
  • Large FMIC;
  • 0445110297 or 0445110353 injectors;
  • The clutch will need to be upgraded to a full stage 3 ceramic paddle clutch.

Programming Methods – OBD programming or Bench Programming

There are two variants of ECU on the Volvo 1.6D 16V from 2005 to 2010. There are EDC16C31 and EDC16C34.

We’ve found that for models from 2008 to 2010 with the EDC16C34 it is not possible to write over OBD, so instead the ECU must be removed. This is due to additional RSA checksums in the software which can only be corrected when using a full BDM dump of the software. Our postal remap service is popular for this ECU model. We have EDC16 bench service mode equipment which can program the full BDM dump without needing to open or dismantle the ECU which retains integrity of the seal and prevents water damage.

Programming via OBD EDC16C31

  • Obtain a suitable programming tool, we found an OBD write will only work with a genuine tool.
  • Install the tool to a reliable laptop.
  • Connect to the OBD port of your car, make sure you have backup chargers to the vehicle battery and the laptop battery.
  • ID the ECU and then take a read of the ECUs flash memory.
  • Email the software to remap@hdi-tuning.co.uk along with a description of the remap you require.
  • Send payment through our webshop.
  • We will modify the software and send back to you. This normally takes less than 2 to 3 hours during working days.
  • Using the same tool, ID then write to the ECU. This will overwrite the ECUs flash memory, it’s important not to interrupt the process. If you encounter any problems we can fix the ECU for you so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.
  • Let your engine warm up and then take the car for a spin, enjoy the extra power!

Programming via BDM EDC16C31 & EDC16C34

  • Order a suitable BDM programming tool such as Kess KTAG
  • Install the tool to a reliable laptop.
  • The ECU must be removed from the vehicle, and then the tabs on the lid can be carefully pried open and the casing of the ECU removed.
  • Using a pogo spring probe connect to the ECU board, power the ECU to the ECU connector plugs as described by your programming tool.
  • ID the ECU and then take a read of the ECUs memories for a backup (please save separately, and not as a combined file).
  • Email the software to remap@hdi-tuning.co.uk along with a description of the remap you require.
  • Send payment through our webshop.
  • We will modify the software and send back to you. This normally takes less than 2 to 3 hours during work days.
  • Using the same tool, ID then write to the ECU. This will overwrite the ECUs memory, it’s important not to interrupt the process. If you encounter any problems we can fix the ECU for you so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about (You can always repair an ECU if you take a full BDM backup of all memories).
  • Straighten the lid on the ECU and seal with a little silicone.
  • Refit the ECU and start the engine.
  • Let your engine warm up and then take the car for a spin, enjoy the extra power!
