    @gamaz if this is still interesting for you. Your donor part should have a white backside (hardware gen. 1) and should come from a donor car with a non-VEA engine and automatic transmission. TFT DIMs with black backside (gen. 2&3)are not fully compatible with your car and might not work as expected.

    @SKanev that looks slightly burned. A professional flush would be the way to go, but based on your specific shifting issues, I think your valve body needs a rebuild or replacement. I just had a talk with a retired Volvo tech, and his reply after describing your specific problem was short and simple: "get a new valve body, everything else is a waste of time and money". Your symptoms are most probably the result of worn out or even cracked valve bores in the valve body. This seems to be a known problem especially with Gen.1 TF8Xs like yours.
    If you're keen enough for this, you can also try to readjust your clutch control valves as described here but that is something I wouldn't do by myself.

    UPDATE – SOLVED

    The problem is fixed. D5T5 support confirmed it was a VDASH glitch that prevented CEM configuration changes from being applied. After their fix (03.11.2026) everything works. Thank you, Pavel, and thanks to everyone who offered advice.

    For anyone with the same issue (P2, import car, trip computer still in mpg / °F):

    Charger connected, ignition position II, engine off. Car configuration → Others → Service interval → "User defined in DIM" → APPLY CHANGES. Detect vehicle again and check that "Current value in the car" really shows "User defined in DIM". Don't trust the green "All items are processed" alone. Only then, in DIM: Temperature units to C, Trip computer units l/100km (EU), DIM service interval (km / months).

    If DIM returns NEGATIVE [22] – Conditions not correct, the CEM still isn't set to user defined. If the value keeps reverting and SOFTWARE history shows every attempt as "CEM RESTORE", contact support – it's not your fault.

    @Michigo der Adapter sollte okay sein.
    Dein Wagen mag zwar zuletzt in den Niederlanden unterwegs gewesen sein. Ursprünglich dürfte er aber basierend auf der hier angezeigten Marktgruppe "International" für Südafrika oder Asien gebaut worden. Das sollte für dein Problem aber keine Rolle spielen.
    Dir bleibt leider nur ein Ticket beim Support in der Kategorie "VDASH / Optimization / Configuration / Language" zu erstellen. Möglichst morgens/vormittags unter der Woche. Entweder wurde das Sprachpaket auf dem Server nicht ordentlich zusammen gestellt oder auf Deinem Rechner hat ein Antivirenprogramm beim aufspielen dazwischen gefunkt. Viel mehr bleibt eigentlich nicht. Das deutsche Sprachpaket kann zwar keine Umlaute, ansonsten sollte das aber eigentlich fehlerfrei funktionieren.
