Re: European Auto Repair Shop - BMW specialized

Re: Volvo FMX V4 Euro6

Oh yeah you could say we've seen a few cams lol, we had one on a Renault recently where the lobe was spinning free on no 6 pump unit and the rocker bridge for the exhaust valve had smashed the top of the pump unit and the funny thing was they had bought it in after they had replaced no.6 injector ye...

Volvo FMX V4 Euro6

Well I know there are a few of you out there interested in using the Pico on trucks so I thought I'd share my process with this one as I have done a few of these now and Pico has definitely improved the accuracy and speed of the diagnosis with them.
