Hello all,

I'm a newbie here and I'm looking for someone in Austin that has the tool to reset the service light on my wife's 1998 V70. I've searched for ways to this without the tool, but haven't found one yet.

So is anybody able to help out, for a modest payment or free beer? Feel free to email me.

Thanks,
John

Here is a reset tool like IPD sells....still bit expensive. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AH-Volvo-Se...sspagenameZWDVW
I bought one almost identical to this one made by Draper from eBay....with shipping for about $60. I haven't seen them on there for awhile. Maybe you'll find the guy in Tx who can do it for you.

An a similar note, do a google for Alex Pepper who makes a OBD-II scan tool that you use through your laptop that can evidently reset the service light as well. Sorry I wasn't much help here.
