Blinking LCD Display

855 - T-5 I just had my odometer repaired (they replaced the gears and rolled it to match my ECU). While they were back there I had them replace all of my dash bulbs. When I picked it up, virtually all of the LCD elements were just flashing away. Turning the knob had no effect... The mechanic tells ...

Code Reader / Scanner

Is there general consensus on who make the best Volvo specific Code Reader / Scanner. One that is Volvo specific and allows access to Manufacturer specific codes. A software (laptop) product would be fine or handheld device. I have a good DTC reader for all generic ODB-II stuff but not one that is V...

Re: A Guide?

I keep repeating, if you have to ask, have a pro do the work. The little back speaker is a standard small tweater. NO ONE MAKES A SPEAKER THAT'S REPLACEMENT BOLT IN FOR A VOLVO Personally I wouldn't worry about replacing those, you really can't hear them anyway unless you have a 3rd seat and with a...

A Guide?

Is there a guide out there that covers the changes need to achieve a 'best fit'? Also any idea what size speaker fits the back two columns? I went to cruchfield and they only give me choices for the dash and doors. They give me one for a deck but I don't have a deck in a wagon. It's the two in the r...

Chuck
