You need to get hold of a reset tool that plugs in to the OBD socket (assuming yours has one). They aren't too dear, draper do one as do a few others, I assume it will work on a TDi.

Yours is an N reg, isn't it?

It can be done at home, but your need to make a special tool to do it

As yours is diesel too, I might be completely wrong too

Just had a look at the draper one online and it says TDi on it, and Saab 900 for some reason !

well ive always found a way of doing them with a jumper as paul say, from bmw to merc alsorts
had a look on that volvo site couldnt find the port unter the bonnet, but it does that the OBD II port infromt of the gear stick under the coin holder but no rubber plug in the clocks, bit baffled lol, if all fails after a few hours of trying to do it for nothing i will then part with money you see lol

Your's is the same age as mine mate, you will need the obd reset tool, the underbonnet diagnostics was fitted pre-95 (ish).
