Re: Rack and pinion play on the inside
My P2 rack doesn’t have a 17mm, it’s an Allen key like older 850s. Will give this a try this weekend, hopefully it helps the play just a little.

Re: Rack and pinion play on the inside
Any news on this? Has anybody adjusted the P2 preload bolt? Mine looks like your 850, it’s an Allen key but a bit bigger. Sway bar is in the way so I’m going to have to sag the subframe and unbolt the sway bar but I would love more info on this because early P2’s are different than later P2’s that ...

Re: Move Vida to Chrome to avoid conflicts
IE Tab became a paid subscription ($39 USD per year) which seems like a lot of money for such a simple addon. Will this method be updated in the near future so we don't have to pay for IE Tab?

Adjustment of pre-tensioning piston on a steering rack of a P2 volvo
Hey guys, I've been doing some research on the adjustment of the pre-tensioning piston on the steering rack, also called the yoke damper. I have a 2001 S60 T5 with the SMI branded rack. I tried looking through forums and I didn't find much, especially for Pre ZF rack cars. Only thing I found on ...

Bosch Alternator frankestein?
I have the opportunity to buy a 140A Bosch AL0854X for a really good price because of a customer that backed out. Only issue is, it's made for 05+ cars with the ECU controlled voltage regulator... If I remove that ecu controlled voltage regulator and install my original 140A self regulating bosch ...

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?
Just found this "ford" mongoose clone and I thought it would be the same as the volvo one but after looking at the ford pinout from drewtech's website, it probably wouldn't work. It would've been cool though, almost half the price of the JLR clone.

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?
I was on windows 7 pro & vida 2015A when I wasn't able to communicate with the ECM.
Was your W7 in a VM too, also what browser / level? All a bit academic I suppose, but might be useful for future reference.
W7 Pro VM/Vida 2015A tried it with IE and Google chrome. Just follow trixeo's step ...

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?
From Rick's screenshots it looks like he uses the IETab extension to make it work.
You need IE Tab in Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
Rick I happen to find your isoview solution for higher res screens (https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=83834&start=80) but the isoview link ...

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?
Update, after making another Virtual machine with windows 10 pro following Trixeo's tutorial on Swedespeed, everything is working. Only thing I'm dealing with right now is the weird aspect ratio :lol: I'll swap it over to Google and see if that solves it.
Great news, glad that you got it ...
