Which Code Reader?
Hi All
SO I'm having a few issues with my XC 70. I've been running it a year and am now at the point of either fix it or scrap it depending on the cost to fix the three issues it has 1st there is the rear shock that needs replacing and its the Dealer only self levelling type so unless I can find a breaker that's enough to scrap the car in itself. 2nd is a noise/clunk in the front suspension/steering. I've not been able tpo investigate this yet so no idea on the cost 3rd (and the reason for the post) is that the car keeps going into limp mode and my cheap generic OBDII reader can't read the code so I'm after advice on an upgrade of code reader that would be able to read the full Volvo codes (and full codes for other vehicles too). Could someone recommend something. I'm happy to spend money but not on a generic Volvo reader as Ii doubt I'll ever buy a newer Volvo, I prefer the old ones that don't have limp mode Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Hi if you are happy to run from a laptop , Volvo vida is the best, you can buy
from the for sale section on this forum, or if you have other cars you can get a Delphi ds150e reader (clone)to run on a laptop will read all Volvo modules, And most other makes of car, get from ebay, If you only want a H/H unit no computer needed, get a Icarsoft 902, Dave |

vida/dice is the best but failing that my icarsoft i906 does most things very good for the money

Is the Vida installation worth all the hassle?
