Hello I have a couple of questions regarding my Volvo 66, it all seems to be going ok but just wondering if it’s behaving as it should when slowing down to come to a stop the revs only drop to idle when you are almost at a stand still. I’ve also got a broken clutch servo cable am I right in thinking that this function is just to aid the car in driving on choke and not needed in normal conditions?
thanks in advance.

The revs doing that seems normal - it's the engine and transmission working in harmony. Engine braking, if you like. (I stand to be corrected)
The clutch servo cable - the servo was installed by Volvo to make the big difference between it and the DAF original - i.e. to be able to start the car in neutral and then engage drive or reverse without the painful "crunching". It's not to do with the choke etc. (In the DAF, there was no official "neutral" so one had to start the car "in gear", i.e. with the lever forward ready to go forward or pulled back ready to go back. The Volvo gear selector was designed to make drivers of conventional automatics feel more familiar and at home.

I have a daf cf 2021 I have this error on and off all day, can anyone help vehicle controller malfunction Hello, This could be interesting... Sorry, but we are nothing to do with DAF lorries and trucks. We are all about the classic DAF cars from the 1960s and 70s with the Variomatic transmission - have a look at www.dafownersclub.co.ukDare I suggest that your truck is probably modern with lots of computers in. Perhaps a dealer needs to plug a laptop in to diagnose?!
