Hi!
I wanted to buy OBD2 kit for my 11/1996 850tdi imported second hand from
Germany, to be able to read error codes, reset them etc...

I was very happy to see 16-pin connector under the OBD2 marked coin
holder in front of the gear stick. Looked a little on the web, and
everything seemed clear.

BUT, while browsing and deciding which tool I will buy - things got more
and more confusing. So, now it seems that my car is not OBD2-ISO
compliant and things are not that easy.

I remember that somebody here has experience with 850tdi model. Please,
help me with the following stuff...

1) is my 11/1996 850tdi OBD2 compliant?
2) which cable & interface & software combo can I use for sure?
- ElmScan ISO 9141/14230 ( http://www.scantool.net )
- Vol-FCR ( http://www.onboarddiagnostics.co.uk/volfcr/index.html )
- Volvo VADIS
3) what cables & hardware do I need to use Volvo VADIS?
4) which pins on my car's OBD2 connector should be wired?
5) is it possible to read & clear EGR, Air Mass Sensor errors?
6) any other hints on 850tdi - OBD2 stuff greatly appreciated...

Thnx a lot.

Is it the same for a 1997-9 V70 TDi? [Same engine, almost same body, ODB2
connector inside storage box under centre armrest]

This being the case, where can I get a definitive list which explains what
all the codes mean - in case I ever buy an ODB2 interface?

850 Tdi and SV70 Tdi using MSA15.7 are not OBDII compliant.

Vol-FCR will work but reads fault codes only, but it will do every other
system in your car as well. (Works with cheap 9 pin serial leads for
VAG-COM, search the net for these, you must have a PC with a 9 pin serial
port)

VAG-COM will work on engine (diesel pump) only, the engine is an Audi unit,
try the shareware version.

Hope this helps.

Can you please advise me what hardware and software I would need to
interrogate the OBD2 socket on my car - and where to find information about
the codes, so as to be able to understand what it's telling me.

Can you explain how to set up VAG-COM for the
diesel pump and a 850 TDI?

I have tried but without succes. It seems that VAG-COM
does not recognise the ECU in the Volvo and Audi uses
Digifant ECU.

Thanks Per
