Ebay Manuals

Anybody have any experiences with the Volvo "OEM" DVD repair manuals on Ebay? There are a few for $15 or so; I'm guessing they are pirated, but can't substantiate one way or the other. Generally you get what you pay for, but for $15-20, it wouldn't be much of a loss if the product was useless, and it seems to me if it's even halfway decent, it would be well worth the minimal expense.

They are probably VADIS discs...this is what I have and many of the diagrams you see on this site come from those- it's a good gamble- make sure they give you the install code and you have about 2Gigs on your computer to load the disc up. The extra disc is full of wiring diagrams and you use it from the disc, not loaded onto your computer.

If they are the VADIS discs they are copies because Volvo changed their system in 2005/6 and the discs were no longer used.

eBay UK have them cheaper than the US site. This is one example:

Total cost to the US is $11.39. I bought mine from this seller and have had no problems with them.
