Hi all. After much consideration, I have purchased an Electronic tool for resetting Volvo Service reminder lights. The unit plugs into the OBDII Diagnostic socket under the armrest, and after pressing a switch, whoosh, no service light when you turn the ignition on. Many will argue that it's easy to remove the bulb for the service reminder light, but according to my haynes manual, the ECU actually measures various conditions to decide when the vehicle needs servicing. To me, this is a useful function. So, if you want your light resetting, bring the car to Cambridgeshire, and I'll do it for you. There is a method of using the odometer trip button to reset this light, but I, amongst others have found that this doesn't work on later 850 models, and the S/V cars. I can also source these units if anyone wants to pay the £50 cost. I am located in Peterborough, but travel around a bit for work, so can possibly help those who live further away. Together we'll wipe out the need for main dealers! Cheers for now. Joe. Peterborough UK. V70 TDI 229,000 miles.
