I recently purchased a 2004 Finnmaster with a VP D3 130, the orange triangle started flashing after the 1st
2-3 hours and continued until I could get a Volvo Penta agent to plug in the Vodia and diagnose the problem
which turned out to be the charge air pressure/temperature sensor. BUT at first the Vodia would not communicate with the EVC, the engineer tried several times including using another Vodia, after 2 hours of trying different things, he contacted someone from Volvo Penta called Tony who said it was the white wire (4 wires in total) that was in the wrong terminal of the 6 pin socket that the Vodia plugs into, it was in pin 4 and should be in pin 5. The Vodia connected within 30 seconds and came up with the faulty sensor. Problem solved. I have since learned that another Finnmaster up in Scotland has the exact same problem when I told the broker who sold me the boat what I had found out. This Tony guy from VP did say there was faulty batches produced with this fault.
