2004 s40 heater core replacement
#4
VIDA is software for the Volvo. This would be how you look up the "how to" for replacing the o-rings leading to the heater core. It will show you step by step how to accomplish the task. It's not very consumer friendly though because it's made for the dealer, not the consumer. However, it has been hacked to allow us to use it but with some limitations. The limitations are for stuff like reprogramming ignition keys. Otherwise any thief could reprogram a key and steal your car.
VIDA is finicky to install but some clever folks have found a work around using it in a Virtual Machine. See this thread for more: http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/for...edba06e5a24c46 This method does work. I have used it successfully on various Windows machines. No clue on Apple OS though.
I have replaced the o-rings on my 2005 but not on my 2001 so I'm no help with the earlier version.
