Default XC 90 in need of some care

Hi there

I have an XC90 and of late have a few Warnings appearing on my Dash :

1. SRS-AirBag Service Urgent
I believe this to be linked to a maintenance i had carried out where one of the rear seats were removed and the guy did not have the Volvo Airbag System Reset widget - but assured me all was well.

2. ABS / ANTI - Skid Service Reqd

3. Brake Assist Service Reqd

Have you any recommendations for any of these before i walk into my local Volvo garage and open my Wallet

Thank you
John

My 1st recommendation would be to get yourself a clone DiCE device from eBay, and get VIDA running on your laptop.

You can then connect to the car and diagnose and even fix issues yourself.

The investment of £80ish for the DiCE will pay itself back almost instantly.

At the very least you can self-diagnose the issues before approaching Volvo or an indy and then know you arent being taken for a ride.

The airbag light should be easily resettable via VIDA.
