    Fault code readers?

    Is there any good fault code readers for Laguna 2? I have GT model so...

    Price should be reasonable too, of course there are CLIP, but it is rather very expensive.

    Also if you could read all codes and remove those too.

    Re: Fault code readers?

    what exactly do you want to look at?

    i think those models mentioned are all EOBD compliant, but you will only be able to look at engine stuff that relates to emissions.

    GSF sell 987AA4884 which is a citroen/pug/renault tool, but thats £250-ish its tells you a bit more detail than just an EOBD reader.

    How about this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...id=p2759.l1259 ?

    I would like to see real time data, engine tests and also engine data mostly.

    Re: Fault code readers?

    hmmm...I have laptop so if you have program suggestions that are able to do following:

    - Engine real time data
    - Reading and erasing fault codes (also SRS and ESP)
    - Manufacture specific codes should be included (at least most codes)

    my volvo has a diagnostic unit which can flash up fault codes,helps but if not easily cured then you have to use other test equipment.
