Has anyone who owns an older Volvo circa 2013 had any luck at all finding service manuals for your cars? I have a 2013 S60 T5 AWD and I can't find anything online at all. I would love to have something like a Chilton manual for my car but they seem almost impossible to find. I did find a copy of a 2012 European service manual at my local library and I think that will cover my 2013 but I'm not sure. It was too big and bulky to try to sneak out in my coat . If any knows where to pick one up, or if you have a copy to sell, please let me know. Thanks!

 

The factory service manual is VIDA - the stolen and hacked 2014 version is available as a download many places. Swedespeed has a link in their OBD section. You need a Win 7 pro cpu to run it. Or there is a guy who sells VIDA on a bootable flash drive that runs on many systems for about $100.

I trust you have a scan tool - with Vida you can scan all the systems in the car, with the addition of a DICE unit.

 

I do have a scan tool, it's bluetooth and I haven't tried it yet on the car. It connects to my phone. I am not sure what VIDA or DICE means. Thank you for replying.

 

If it's one of those $39-$59 scan tools - you won't get much from it other than generic OBD codes. Helpful sometimes -

VIDA is the factory service, parts, diagnostics, manual from Volvo available as software on your cpu. Dice is the hardware interface needed to plug into the car and your cpu. Here's a picture of A dice unit I gave away recently, it would only communicate with the high speed network. The low speed network is less important stuff, seats, climate control, etc.
