Need some advice

Post by Flatlander »

Hi,

My V70 (MY2008, or at least I bought it in 2008) got the SRS Service Light on. It seems to be the driver seat sensor, but to confirm I need to reset the Service Light.
From what I understood I have 3 options:
1. dealer (25Eur for reading the error codes and 85Eur for resetting the SRS service light). Crazy!
2. Buy a Volvo dice (someone "offered" me one for 130Eur, should work for Vadis/Vida 2014.
3. Buy a "device" that can reset this light. Which one?

Since I doubt I will get another Volvo by Geely (sorry, the quality is nothing compared to my previous 940-MY1992), the before 2014 models should be good enough. So basically I an divided between option 2 and 3, but have no clue what option 3 is....

Any good advice?
245 MY1982 First car, crashed (It was not me :roll: ), 440 MY1990 (SOLD), 940 MY1992 (SOLD, because importing it was way too expensive), V70 MY2008 (daily driver)
Better half: Suzuki Vitara 1.9TD 1998 Hard Top (funny car and easy to work on, even for a non-mechanic)
