I have some things that need taking care of on my 2015 V60 with 100,000 mi.
1. There is a coolant leak under the air intake hose on the driver's side. The leak seems to be coming from a hose or perhaps a tee.
The attached pic shows the Tee (yellow) but I can't tell if the plastic is cracked or the hose is bad without taking it a part.
2. It's time to change the trans fluid. The current fluid is likely as old as the car (100,000 mi). I'll change the fluid regardless of whether it is still supposed to be good. Details should be in the service manual. Where's the manual?
I'd like a service manual or some steady source of information so I don't have to do what amounts to dead end searches. It appears that bootleg VIDA copies don't cover 2015. Is this correct. What sources do you use for repair data. driver side leak from the Tee

Vida 2014d (the last stolen and hacked version available on DVD) covers thru 2015 year model cars. 2016s are not covered. Vida 2013 (2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, etc. ) will not have info on 2015 year model cars. (the cars were not made yet!) Volvo sent out new Vida discs to subscribers 4 times a year - And labeled a, b, c and d.
What Version have you seen that does not cover your car?

It was a copy for download that supposedly was 2014D but I don't remember where it was. Since it's basically hacked software, I also want to make sure it's clean. I remember dealing with bootleg copies of software years ago and sometimes headaches resulted.
Do you know off hand what hose is on the pic above? The leak seems to be dripping from the joint where the hose connects to the tee. The smaller line goes back to the coolant reservoir. I get a low coolant error message after 40 mi or so and I need to find the hose preferably without having to take it a part first. Of course, low coolant warning is preferable to an over heated engine.
Yes, 2.0. That's it and it doesn't look difficult to remove now that I see the whole thing.
I have some work to do to get set up to work on this car...tracking down/learning Vida, getting a scanner that works etc.
