Hi, I own a 2003 V40 1.9 TD Sport, and I need a working Scanner tool.
My cheap elm327 only reads RPM.
I know there's other tools out there besides DICE but I dont know any working ones.
Can you recommend me a working Scanner tool?
Thak you

I use a ScanGauge II on my 2001 1.9T. It seems to work pretty well.

Thank you, but I need a diagnostic tool (USB or Bluetooth) that can read/erase DTCs, engine values (Airflow, Turbo pressure, etc.).
Anyone?

You can get a cheap ELM327 blutooth module off Amazon and use your phone with Torque app (free) or other apps to read/clear codes.

I have a generic one I purchased years ago from dealextreme but nowadays Amazon has plenty of choices. Pick your fancy, this one is recommended by reviews:

The Torque pro app (android only) should also be able to show real time parameters like engine RPM, fuel consumption and temperature. Not sure about turbo boost, I'm going to check that out later.

I bought this one (because I use iOS- or iPhone)...what sold me was an ASE mechanic who loves it and he said it worked on Volvo's.

Don't ask me questions about it- I haven't received it yet. I'm hoping that it will read the codes (CAN bus) in my '07 S40 too.
