Anyone in the Swindon, Wilts area with the necessary tool to find info about an 'Engine System Service Required' message for me, and possibly disable DRLs?

Edited to add: Car is a 2006 XC90 D5 AWD

Thanks in advance.

I think the switch off DRL will need a software change so you need someone with a VIDA account for that.

Thanks. Reading the codes is the main thing. I've tried with a generic Obdii reader and there are no MILs returned and just a few extended diagnostic codes,however clearing them doesn't remove the warning message so presume there is some Volvo specific data in there that needs to be read/cleared too.

If someone has the software to switch off the DRLs too, that would just be a bonus!

Default Volvo VIDA and DICE in Cornwall

Hi everyone,

I am only a basic level member and do not post very often. I have recently acquired a working VIDA and DICE. So far I have only used it to to change the ATF on my V70 2.4D. (Specific temp for final level setting and re-set of the ATF fluid counter). I am a competent DIYer not a Pro mech but, with prior arrangement around my work I am willing to offer my time and what I know. St Blazey in Cornwall

I am not sure how to add the blue marker so if an admin can help....?

Stay safe people....the wolf is always at the door

I can see the map but no markers visible - do I need to create an account to view the markers ?
