Hello Mike, I was thinking of buying VOl FCR but I have no serial 9 pin on my laptop.

Need to do pump timing (dash triangular light on) 1996' 850 Tdi auto.

Will Vol FCR do this job and can anyone recommend an interface for USB port on my laptop - seem to be many around but need to know one that "actually" works.

Thank you

hi
volvfcr version 1.74 will do the pump timing for you, you will need the usb version which you can get from ilexa onboard diagnotic. you sa y you have the mil light on it may not be your pump timing, have the codes read and go from there.

Thanks Mike - I will read the codes, although pretty sure it is the timing as have recently changed cambelt, pulleys, waterpump and FIP belt.

When I retimed everything it was very difficult to start lots of white smoke, but did run and light on dash stayed out.

The only way I could get it to start easily was to move it one notch on the FIP pulley in the advanced direction - Now the green triangular light is on - Book says this is emission light - Is this the same as MIL light?

Where did you get your USB interface from or are you on serial port?

Thanks for your help!

Hello Mike - That is very kind of you. It will work well for me also as I am driving to Surrey on Saturday and could travel via Thatcham.

Have you any idea what time you could be available on Sat and I could fit in with your plans.

I will PM you (think I know how to do it) with my mobile number and maybe I can enter your sons address into sat nav.

I will prepare the car (take covers off etc) so we can adjust the pulleys and belt - Hopefully get this blessed light out.

Thanks very much

Eamon
