As a newbie Volvo owner I'm trying to do a little groundwork on a cable AND software that will allow me to enable/disable functions on the car.

I purchased a generic cable a while ago for my Citroen but all it could do was read/reset fault codes and read engine data, was pretty useless for anything else..

My new pride and joy (and HOPEFULLY reliable new car is a ) S40 2.0D 2009. Any advice appreciated

Thank you

John

Possibly the best piece of advice is to post in the correct section of the forum. This is for series 1 S40s (and V40s).

Errrr SERIES 1 includes both PHASE 1 S40s and V40s and PHASE 2 includes S40 and V40....

So you can get:

Series 1 Phase 1 S40
Series 1 Phase 1 V40

Series 1 Phase 2 S40
Series 1 Phase 2 V40 (an example of which I own)

However the Series 2 S40 is a completely different car.

Best of luck with the car, decided to not go with the later model of car due to the reliability issues, especially with the 2.0D Ford diesel (start saving for the replacement DPF).

Good call Mitch

As well as the catastrophic DMF which also takes out the starter motor.

Thats only if the electrics and sensors hold up long enough that is.
