I have seen sites like Autotap ( USA based ) and various others all claiming their engine diagnosis software/reader is the best but all I have done so far is to confuse myself with the vast array of whats on offer although Autotap are now sending there very imformative educational emails every week . I have even considered buying a lap top with serial port and pre loaded software and obd11 cable , you can get these for about £200. I dont want a basic code reader , it would be nice to see waveforms and voltage outputs from things like the 02 sensors etc but again is this expecting too much considering that at the moment all I may need is an OBD11 connector costing about £15 ? What really put me off just buying a code reader was seeing one for sale in Halfords for £215 and thinking thats a bit steep and then seeing all the other gear available on the internet for a fraction of the price . Any advice please .

What year is the car.

Diesels did not have to be OBDII/EOBD compliant until 2004, the earlier Volvo ones weren't compliant.

its a v70 D5 registered Dec 2003 and , it does have an obd11 socket but dont know if that means much ? I realise now than scantool and other free software and the cheaper analysis gear probably wont work ? and the vct2000 looks just a but too expensive to be worth it for someone like me with just one car to look after , the way the value is dropping the vct2000 will be worth more than my car soon , will keep looking

Is there a volvo list?

I got a couple of codes from my 2001 V40 (auto), I can look them up as Ford codes but is this right?

P0717 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal
P1500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Intermittent

I guess ignore the 1500 a,d see if I can find the sensor for 717.

Hi,
Rang Nordic in Middlesex last week and bought a BSR Volvo specific code reader for 66 quid. Working a treat on my 2002 D5.

Will these codes be right ? as ive just bought a Autel Maxscan GS500 reader or can someone tell me were to find the codes if my car throws any up.
Im going to try it out tommorow.

Post the codes in the main part of the forum in a new thread.

Make sure you include the model year and engine code from your car as manufactures codes vary between engines and model years.

Cheer Chris I'll do as you say if it throws any codes up.
