I am looking for a OBD-interface to connect with my PC.
There are many types of OBD available. But i don't know what protocol
Volvo uses for my car.
Volvo V40 1.9D (1999) Europe
MotorType: D4192T2
EDC: Bosch MSA15.5-5.40
Any ideas?

You're probably out of luck - like I am with my UK 1999 (2000MY) V70 2.5D.
The generic code readers don't seem to work with most Volvo diesel cars made
prior to about 2004. It needs the dedicated kit used by Volvo dealers to
communicate with earlier cars.

It will not cover the diesel D419T2 engine ECU

Do you have any idea if it is a problem with the hardware or with the
software?

The ECU is not covered by the software, I don't know of any other tool that
covers that ECU.
