I'm just about at my wits end with my 2005 V70T5. Will VIDA enable me to identify the root cause of a frequent 0017 code. I've checked and cleaned both cam sensors, the crank sensor and associated plugs. Static cam timing also checked. Car has done 94k The belt was changed 2 years ago by a Volvo garage. The car runs great, no flatspots or hesitations, just the annoying light coming on from time to time.

If the answer is yes, is the offer still open to have VIDA loaded onto a spare laptop if I pop it across?

Many thanks.

Many thanks.
I'd be cautious saying that any diagnostics will definitely fix an issue because there can be many factors to fixing a car.
How you approach the problem, interpreting results, your tool collection..... etc

Vida will give you a huge chance of solving it though.

As it is, I'm now sold out of Dice units so you'll have to source one elsewhere unfortunately.
I do installs of Vida on laptops as a separate service but I'm not cheap so I would recommend you trying to do this yourself.
I've written lots on here about how to do it simply.

Thank you for the very prompt response. When will you have any more in stock, I'd rather buy a tried and tested unit from you.

I'll bite the bullet this week and take it to a garage.

I don't sell laptops, just the Dice unit and Vida software.
I'm currently sold out but the next batch is due next week so I'll contact you directly to see if you're still interested.

Just to add my feedback.

I bought a unit off cheshired5. Great communication from Si. Unit was delivered when he said it would be. Followed Si's video for installing the software and that went without a hitch.

I did have one issue (not Si's fault) where after a windows update Vida couldn't see the Dice unit. An email to Si and a quick reply pointed me to one of his other video's explaining how to correct the problem.

A great person to deal with and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Hi,

Cannot PM as do not have sufficient privileges yet.
Could I buy one of the units from you? I randomly saw some of your videos on YT yesterday, and now I discovered your post on the forum.
I was going to check if it worked on a VM, but I've ascertained that to be the case already.
Let me know where you want payment.

I'll need delivery EN9 3JQ as the old girl is off the road at the moment, hence the need for this

Cheers
Ade

P.S Forgot to add, do you have a location I can download the software from upon purchase, as I don't have an optical drive anymore? Worst case, could you bung the contents onto wetransfer (providing it's <2Gb)?
