1. It seems like a pretty basic old program. My guess is it would be harder to find a PC it wouldn't run on. But I can only speak to the version 6.4. 2. Yes i run VADIS without a disc. 3. Yeah you can browse everything from parts list to repair instructions on nearly everything on your Volvo. Be sur...

Might want try before you buy. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3512164/VADIS_volvo

I am in the same boat, need to get new inner and outer tie rods but the code in the fifth line, right of the divider says 2W2MMWA. WTF? Going to poke around VADIS to see if has any info there. Edit: It appears to me that you can also tell by the chassis #. Anything 549830 and bellow is TWR. Anything...

OK thanks a lot. Yeah I likely will do the inner rods as well after reading similar stories as yours. Gotta get out of the half assin' it habit.

And it just got worse over time. Now that I have 2 new Bliste...

Yeah I did, that must be it. Because now its running just right, and has been through a day of running errands. Thanks Lee.

No error codes. Idling better, around 900-1000 rpms. Any ideas?

This is my second V70 and my second time changing a timing belt. Although this one is the mechanical tensioner. Timing marks line up perfectly, but im getting a high idle, about 1200. And it seems to stall/missfire slightly when giving it gas. Going to scan the engine now to see if its trowing any n...

Yeah, not a good sign. Well I put the belt on and it runs better than before, aside from the near deafening sound of the valves clanging. Would it even run if the valves were bent?

I just dont know if I want to go through all that trouble, there are allot of other little things that need fixing on this car. ABS mod, left door lock, and on and on. Also I'm not to confident in the bevel gear, when I bought it had mix matched tires on it, I replaced them obviously, but theres a p...
