Re: 2003 S60 T5 Seems to shudder/slip/skip under load/torque

I read my codes recently with my DICE unit and the following codes were present:

CEM 1A56 - Communication with the driver information module (DIM). Signal missing (My DIM hasn't worked since I bought the car used. I have been trying to troubleshoot this ever since.)
CEM 5B01 - LH heating element ...

2003 S60 T5 Seems to shudder/slip/skip under load/torque

Here's the story: My T5 has the 5-speed manual transmission and not too long ago the clutch slave cylinder failed and the pedal stuck to the floor, which is a common symptom of the issue. My mechanic installed a new Centric clutch kit I found on eBay for $200 and it shifts great again. I'm telling ...

Re: 2001 S60 2.4t Brake booster removal

I just recently replaced the brake booster on my 2003 S60 T5 and can offer this advice....

First thing is to remember to move the driver's seat all the way back to give yourself some room under the dash!! I didn't do this and it wasn't until after I removed the battery cable to do this job and ...

Re: 2003 S60 T5 - Dead DIM x 2

OK, got the VIDA/Dice knockoff in 2 days! I installed it on a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit laptop last night. It took a bit to get it installed (just a matter of waiting through what I originally though was the installer freezing, but then realized I just needed to give it enough time to install ...

Re: 2003 S60 T5 - Dead DIM x 2

Before spending any more on anything I'd do basic voltage checks at connectors to make sure voltage and grounds are correct. Wire diagram needed.

A good thing about the VIDA software is that it should include diagrams of the car, so I should be all set with the software once I get it up and ...

Re: 2003 S60 T5 - Dead DIM x 2

Ok so I bought and paid for the VIDA/DICE knockoff on the 15th, and the item had not shown any activity on it as far as shipping was concerned, so I contacted the seller yesterday, thinking that 2 days was enough time to give them before contacting them about the item. I basically asked if it had ...

Re: 2003 S60 T5 - Dead DIM x 2

What I'll do is setup my VIDA computer to also run Teamviewer so that if someone who knows the VIDA software well enough wants to connect remotely to the computer running VIDA, they can. I still haven't heard back from the seller of the DICE knockoff and I have not yet received any notice of the ...

2003 S60 T5 - Dead DIM x 2

I just bought my 2003 S60 T5 a couple weeks ago for only $1,500, knowing that the steering was tight and the gauges didn't work. I already own two Volvos, so I was confident that these issues were easily repairable by someone like me who was familiar with Volvos (or so I thought). The steering was ...

Re: 1996 850 Base NT - Hard Start, No pressure at rail...

OK, the injectors fixed the hard-start issue! This is the first time the Volvo has started without cranking hard since I bought it last summer! And it is consistent now too, since my GF said it started up perfectly this morning too.

The injectors were replaced in about 20 minutes and she started ...
