Hi I am new to Volvo but not to car maintenance. Out on a run today a warning appeared on the dash along with warning lights. (ABS and DSTC Service Required) It appears that it is something to do with the ABS sensors. I would like to repair it myself but need help with the diagnosis . Here is my question, What is the best tool I have cut it down to 3
1. 2014D OBD2 Car Engine Automotive Fault Diagnostic Scanner for VOLVO Vida Dice ZE
2. LATEST VOLVO SAAB MULTI-SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC FAULT SCANNER TOOL - ICARSOFT VOL V2.0
3. Any other suggestions
I have a 2011 v60 d3 2lt diesel
Thanks Mal

i have vida but alos just got hold of some sowtwear vdash. ive not tryed it yet but it also uses volvo dice unit ive installed it on my vida laptop. and ging try later today or tomorrow.

with vdash apparently you can get softwear updates and patches and possibly satnav activation from volvo them self for a fraction of the price they have quoted me £270 plus tax for the satnav soft wear activation. dealer want £750
