Hi guys
I am new to Volvos, but not to cars, and have been looking for the same thing for my S80 2.5D.
After asking lots of manufacturers and trying a Scantool II without success, this firm claim they cover all Volvo's. Give them a try, I will next month.

Default the story so far

i sent an email to www.talktomycar.co.uk

>I want a handheld device to read and reset fault codes on my cars, a
>2001 volvo s80 2.4 petrol and a98 vauxhall omega 2.5 pterol. Which
>would suit both? Bear in mind I'm very poor!

he replied

The cheapest for your volvo is the U380,

this may or may not work with the Vauxhall though, the U480 will give you a
better chance it may work with the Vauxhall, but not guranteed.

The problem with the vauxhall is that many early cars were not OBD2
compliant also Vauxhall seemed to like experimenting by changing the
protocol often.

The U480 is the cheapest multi protocol device, so if that does not work
then nothing will.

Regards

mike

Hi
This will not read a S80 2.5D yr 2000, I know I've tried it!
As for the rest I can't say.
