parts and service manual diagrams

Post by mc4457 »

The parts dept at my local dealer has faxed me beautiful blowup parts diagrams when I need to research a part. Is this available online? I heard someone mention a VADIS? I see where I can buy a volvo service manual for $59 dollars, but would like the convenience of online access.

VADIS is all over eBay at normally under $20.00. It is also floating around on peer to peer networks like pirate bay for free if you have the patience to download it.

The eBay copies don't actually say VADIS but they refer to it as a factory service manual.

What kind of job you would like to make?? Just periodical services??, big repairs or just references..

You could buy the Haynes for the volvo 850 for under $20.00, or the Vadis at ebay (less than $25.00) better graphics and part numbers.. Or if you preffer to make complex diagnosis also can buy the Volvo book (like the Old green books) at Volvo tech info... https://www.volvotechinfo.com/
