DICE unit and VIDA or DICE and VDASH. While you can still use VIDA with newer Volvo's they moved it to a online system from what i can tell and so the older VIDA full fat program is no more and limited function on anything after 2015 i think. There isn't a one size fits all for a lot of this.

Give your MAF sensor a spray out I bet you get no faults next time .

You should do a back to back scan with VIDA to show how extensive an app can or can't be :)

I do have VIDA but also have a VDD dongle, quite expensive but useful, it can do some function enhancement and telemetry. Something else for you to play with perhaps? Annoyingly the cellular coverage (for the dongle) is poor in my driveway, but otherwise a great gadget.

Very good engines. My p3 d5 only has had 2 injectors done at just under 300k km, and a fried ECU from damaged wiring loom (thank god it happened to previous owner lmao). Im not sure if the wiring loom has been improved after 2008 models, but if you dont know about them its an easy prevent. There are videos in YT.

Hi, another useful video thank you. Quick question, does the reader you use have to be a specific type to go with the App you’re using or will any generic OBD reader do ?

[@drivelife.channel]

any one will do :)

[@fisktann]

Cool! Didn't know this existed. Can you read the transmission temprature for servicing the oil too?

[@minimalfeelings]

Hi, Any idea if this works on a C30?

[@gizmo6164]

As long as the one fault for engine doesn’t say “Broken” you should be good to go! 😉 Merry Christmas.

Vida is still much better than anything else for these...

[@RSJohny]

Error codes are wrong unless you use Vida on the older volvos.
