Could you sent a copy/photo of the white label attached to the instrument cluster which you bought - just to make sure it is not the wrong one, pls.

This could be the right one - perhaps: https://ovoko.fi/osat/emt18648-9148926- ... mittaristo

I really brain farted in this thread. Your CDM had chips from 1998 week 20, which is a may June 1998 . Would a chip that late get delivered and built into a CDM before delivery to Volvo before July 1998 in this era of JTL manufacturing era.

We do have the #9148930 - a lot of those - in Europe, as well. For different cars Even for diesel ones.

What about the white ticker - do you have that info; it is needed when purchasing the instrument e.g. 69794-660T? Or did you order ...-680T? It looks pretty much likely that the one you ordered does not fit; but let me know when you have tested. And do the testing before attaching the dashboard. And sure all the fault codes need to be removed before driving the car.

I don't have a way to see it, but if it's wrong the seller claimed it would fit my car, so I'm sure I could get a return if it isn't the right one.
All the info I have on it is 9148930 and for a 98 S70.

Looks like a 98 cluster was the ticket after all. Thanks all for the help

Is that 259k your current mileage or is that sticky with the new cluster?

Indeed, I don't know the true mileage of this car, but I'm betting it's over 200k with the service and inspection history on carfax
