2002 C70 Computer Update needed??

Post by eldorado98 »

A few years back my wife had a Volvo XC. The transmission was acting up and her Volvo mechanic , not a Volvo dealer, told her she should take it to the Volvo dealership in Albany and have them do a computer update. She had it done and her transmission was fine after that. My 2002 C70 transmission acts up occasionally like it is slipping out of gear. Is a computer update something that should be done on a regular basis? I've never heard of this on any of my other cars (all American brands).
