Purchase of Vida/Dice

jezer · Dec 29th, 2018, 21:36

In the short time Ive had my 2007 XC90 D5 (4 Months) it has had to be plugged into Diagnostics twice, and now as ive already posted I am having trouble with the awd/Haldex. I would like to purchase the Vida/Dice already installed on a Laptop/tablet. I have seen such a unit advertised on Ebay for £275. I think there is a Club member that can supply such a package I would be grateful if that person could get in touch with me, I would rather purchase from somebody in the Club than from Ebay. My XC90 has only done 69,000 miles with full Volvo service history so a little disappointed to have problems at such low mileage,however I do really like the car and have owned numerous Volvos prior to this one. Wishing all members Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi,

Think the gent your looking for is cheshired5 he does the complete kit tested and from what I read he's also is very helpful on how to use it.

I agree with 760Simon totally. I bought the complete tested kit from Cheshired5 nearly 3 years back. He helped me install everything by phone/text/email and he was really helpful. I've had 2 or 3 reasons since to call for his help again(not problems with his kit but updates on my computer etc) and he has been very quick in replying and has my problems sorted in literally minutes. I can't recommend Cheshired5 enough. The Vida/Dice has been priceless. I reckon it has saved my 5 or 6 visits to the dealer so possibly a few hundred quid. It also has all the repair/removal instructions. Also if you have any problems with electrical modules such as the DEM on the haldex Volvo Diagnostic can repair the parts at a tenth of the dealer cost and give you a longer warranty. See link below.
