I dont know about the repair disc but I did get my friends system to work by loading a new (2015) version of the maps, 140 euro from the dealer.
Heres a link to a site where they repair the dvd...

That hose is for the engine mount and uses vacuum, if it is open to atmosphere, then you have a vacuum leak and this will slow down the reaction of the variable nozzle turbo VNT. This is where your...

Check the propshaft oscillator damper located at the haldex end of the propshaft. There are 4 plastic pins in it that migrate backwards into the haldex pump and scrape along the face of its casing...

Did it work? any problems since?

Pull the alarm fuse (in the interior fuse panel) On my car its fuse 38. The alarm module has a battery in it that is know to go bad, it could be draining the car battery while trying to charge...

Ok, here's my story,
My XC70 also was lower on the passenger side (rear left) and it bugged me due to the look of it. I also noticed a significant imbalance in the rear shock absorbers when going...

Hi Garvan,
Not possible, without selling both kidneys, The ECU will have to come with the new engine, and it won’t be seen on the network as it will have the wrong node address.
I swapped an...

Ok, so I just pulled the pins out. 3 years later the coupling failed (at 8 years old)
The failure was the separation of the outer ring causing a huge vibration just like an imbalanced shaft
It...

Hi,
Check out the oscillation damper on the propshaft. There are 4 nylon pins that are mounted in the rubber. These can wander backwards and make contact with the oil pump on the haldex unit. The...

Hi,

Just to follow up on the earth strap location
Its located near the ATF dipstick, I cant seem to attach a photo of it, but,
its quiet a large cable (about the diameter of a jumper cable...

Check the earth strap from the transmission to the subframe.
I changed the ring gear on my car a while back and on reassembly I attached this strap but forgot to tighten it.
It took me a while to...

Check the brake light switch under the dash (at the brake pedal) make sure its operation is correct with the position of the pedal. Adjust switch as required. There is no screw type position...

Hi Bill,

Go to Diagnostics tab, then Fault Trace tab . You will see a schematic of the car
There are 4 tabs underneath. (initial state/selected CSC/unselected CSC/ and delivery)

The awd system can send up to 50% of the power to the rear - this means there is only 50% avalable to the front. This reduction in the front and division of power is controlled by the clutches in the...

The collar is connected to one of the final drive units.
The front prop shafts are connected to the other.
Both of the drive units are clutched internally and operate independantly from eachother,...

Yer all a bunch of splined angle gear collars, failing to deliver any traction:p

There are other reasons than wheelspin for the front to rear split of distribution of power in the haldex cars at...

Had the same issue with my 03, turned out to be a missing driveshaft bolt (sems screw). The turning effect was allowing the driveshaft to slide in the hub causing a loss of the signal which has the...

Hi,
Yeah I got a knock off version from ebay, 225 euro. And it has to be said that the description did not exactly say that this unit will connect to your car and run with the software allowing you...

I do all the work myself, and I suppose that it amounts to approx 500 euro per year in parts since 2006. Most of the work is essential but has been nice to have accessories[happy]

Now that I have my Vida dice I can tell you that the ding is a parameter that can be turned on/off through the customer parameter settings section:D

These dice units are the business, if for...

I would recommend Vida with Dice,
Just got one last week on ebay, 225 euro, its amazing, it is version 2010D, and so far Ive used it on an 08 C30, 04 V70, 06XC70, and an 03XC70.
Ran the...

Front left broke at 130000 miles
Replaced both - new ones had an extra coil and lifted the front enough to need a significant adjustment on the headlight level.

During the changing the ring gear in my xc (it 'lost' 5 teeth ) I noticed that the remains of the teeth were gathered on the sensor. Not trying to worry you but it sounds like the ring gear is on its...
