RICHMODS

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

It is mental!

From around 3k rpm up you can really feel the acceleration pulling you back.

i tried to call to lee, but he doesnt answer.

it seems like no ecu plugged in. no reaction. :cryhard:
What I learned due to mistakes is that you must take the battery off before changing ECU's.
Otherwise certain components can get power to early before other components and fry something of the ECU.

I do not know if you have done this, but this is what happened to mine a time ago.

Hello.

I am the one whose ECU got the wrong software. I am waiting very patiently since the first half of July. I accept every excuses, I understand every circumstances but it's the end of September now.. And I start to feel that you dont give a s**t about this. Wich is obviously not a good feeling. :)
So, seriously, please be so kind to give me some proper information about the case finally.. or else I send the :wife:

;)

Best Regards:

ECU

Post by V480TI » Tue Oct 06, 2009 8:37 pm

STILL NO ECU HERE.

It's getting annoying, first with BKF-UK (a while ago) and now with Lee, although I didn't suspect this from him, I have seen him multiple times in person and personally gave him a blue ECU at the Germany meet of this club.

So Lee, be so kind to get in touch with me and ship my blue Richmod ECU please.

Ecu is shipped, but postal services have a big strike.

Still nothing

Still no ECU here.

This is absolutely not the way it should go.

Lee, do something about it;;; in the first post you said shipping would be insured, so you can trace the package, do so !!!!!!!!!!!

There really isn't any need to have two threads up and running at once on the issue of missing ECUs so please keep all posts on that subject in the other thread here
