I bought from svcycling2014 through Ebay - VERY satisfied with the unit and the software! It was $91 and works perfectly. My only hassle was having to temporarily downgrade IE to IE8 to install the...

I bought mine on Ebay through seller "svcycling" $91 with free shipping. I was very impressed and pleased. Just make sure your system meets the specifications. the supplied software loaded...

On ice and snow you'll have no problem telling if AWD is working. Accelerate from stop briskly. A broken AWD car will engage the traction control (amber icon in cluster) and usually pull side to...

The pump's mesh was amazingly clean. The oil filter was dark but not sludgy. The fluid looked pretty clean for 145,000 miles. I'll take a closer look at the pump tonight. Nothing caught my eye but...

If it's a thermostat issue you should notice your temperature gauge not reaching normal levels.

I didn't, but I wondered if I should donate it for forensic use :)
Mine was working at startup until the vehicle was driven for more than about 20 minutes, then it would stop (or pump too weakly??)

Thanks! I ended up taking off the rear portion (had to cut the rusty studs and nuts). I also repaired a rusted off exhaust hangar with the bolt-on Volvo replacement kit.

I have AWD again!

I am replacing my bad Haldex pump (2005 XC70). I have VIDA and am fairly clear on most steps but I have a few questions for those who've done this before.

My car has the big AOC damper that has...

Thanks!...yes, the xemodex flow chart sends me right back to VIDA since I can communicate with the DEM.... All indications are pointing to the pump itself. I'm going to start a new thread with some...

OK! I did a VIDA diagnosis and came back with a "DEM 0006 Feed pump. Faulty signal." It showed green during current operation cycle and RED (frequency medium) during previous operation cycles. ...

Thank you! I just bought a download + license of Win 7 Pro 64bit for my old Toshiba Ultrabook (no internal optical drive, 4 GB RAM, about 50 GB free on SSD). The software download is looking like...

Thank you Bill! I think I'll look for an affordable older Win 7 Pro laptop to dedicate to this project.

Thanks JRL.
Excellent! I just made an online purchase of VIDA DICE and I'm deciding whether to buy Win 7 pro and install it in a Windows 10 laptop or find a good used Windows 7 pro laptop (so I...

Thank you! Good to know! I'll look into that option....but more to learn about (never used vmware). I don't see any online options to purchase older VIDA versions (just 2014). If I didn't have this...

Thanks for weighing in with the advice guys!

I'm pretty sure it's not an angle gear issue since the AWD works so well after cold startup with no unusual noises or behaviors. I've been dreading...

Thanks for the info! It makes sense to me that a weak motor would cause the problem. I don't have VIDA. I'm kind of inclined to just jump in and replace the pump, filter and fluid and hope that's...

I have a 2005 XC70 with 145,000 miles on it. My AWD was not working at all until I replaced the stripped collar. Then I realized the AWD would only operate when I first started a drive with a cold...
