I currently have a Merc (lurking here researching alternatives) MB are the same, to get authoritative diagnosis you manufacturer kit (Star) . I use an indipendent specialist who had this kit, never been charged for them diagnosing faults, always get printed report from Star after service or repair. I use this one agent and they know they get all my business.

Before that Saab, different specialist, same deal.

Sounds like Volvo need some customer backlash.

Hi,
has anyone got a Vida+Dice in N.Ireland.

Also does anyone know can it tell you what module has failed in a MOST ring or will it only say there is a fault in the MOST ring?

Being somewhat new to Volvo bar a P1800s that I had 30-35 years ago, I find it all rather funny. Can't think how I used to while away the hours without a scanner in my hand.

I thought Vida Dice was a character in Coronation Street but it appears by her following of loyal supporters.........she is far bigger than that!

Now that I own 4 Volvos I guess I should get acquainted.

2002 V70 SE AWD Petrol Badged as D5? 106K
2006 V70 SE D5 164K
2012 V70 1.6d Drive Start/Stop 214K
2008 C70 S 2.0d Manual 132K

Not a week goes by without one fairy light or another greeting me on one or another dashboard and whilst I have managed without help to deal with 95% of them with iCarsoft I guess Vida Dice is calling me.

Can anyone tell me what she could do with the following for example.

1. 0040 AQS Had this on 3 cars now 3 V70's. Even more pointless than pointless if it was on the C70 drop top. Internal fault. Swap for a proven sensor and it adds DD00 Lin Bus 1 Incorrect Data. It also adds 3A00 and from time to time 0005 and 0004 only on C70.

2. C301. Nothing else. Clear C301 and up pops 0299. Not there before? Loose vacuum pipe sorted 0299 cleared and now back to C301.? Again C70

3. Is she good with the ADM. Just for fun I bought 1 vehicle with a "Satan's Toy" attachment. iCarsoft is poor on this module. Tells me Additive Tank Empty - YES, Additive Tank Full - Yes, Additive Tank Low - YES and Tank Level Additive In 1/15 - 14 (all at the same time) Can Vida Dice beat that and can she tell the *loody car I have filled her with distilled water and *ig *iss and get it sorted.
If she can, I'll marry her and she can have my babies.

So come on, let's hear it for Vida, I'm fed up with Brexit so it makes a change. Do I invest or accept that some gremlins don't go away? I guess I'll need new surroundings for her, my laptop is as old as the P1800s.

Happy diagnostics.

1. The parts catalogue in Vida will give you the precise part you need as not all AQS are compatible with the LINbus.

2. Hard to tell because they aren't full Volvo codes.
Vida would provide the official code along with possible causes and solutions.

3. Yes Vida can reset the ADM following an EOLYS refill.

I sell tested and guaranteed working Dice which comes with Vida 2014d free and my long standing thread is here.
Vida 2014d will give full code reading, diagnostics, parts catalogue, technical data and workshop manual for all your listed Volvos.

Piers1956,i would say that you having 4 volvo's that you are the ideal candidate to get a vida /dice set up,if you've got a pal who has a garage +diagnostics you can use cheap that's ok if not then it's only a matter of time before some ugly code will reveal itself,and icarsoft is good i have it but it can't do what vida does,for example my icarsoft said -no codes on my pals motor but with vida it was a different story with at least 2 codes that didn't show with icarsoft.and it will give you proper codes that you can post or look up on the forum and get to your problem much sooner,I am not connected with cheshired5 in any way,but if you need a vida set up ready to go-he is your man,just look at his record on here,it speaks for itself,i know we all try and get by with minimal tools but the way cars have gone you just need the diagnostics unfortunately.
