fault code reader

has anybody got a faultcode reader? the antipolution falt came up last night withe the engine light also on any ideas??

the father inlaw has 1 at the garage

how much does he want to get mine read?? bearring in mine its xmas and cash is tight lol

depends on

A how much time he has
B if he's willing to do it off books (cash) if not it will be through the books and be charged at an hourly rate iirc £28 per hour also iirc they dont charge extra for the machine like most places do

pug charge £125+vat just to read they then charge per fault removed

i'll see what he says prob wont have chance to speak to him till mon/tue though

just rung pug they said a faultcode read is £85 plus vat but they said it might be to do with the throttle body?

they've dropped there prices then, he defo wont be that much i can tell you that for a fact, not sure what it would be though fault reader will read it

can he remove faults as well??

yeah at no extra cost pug charge to do this

well can you let me know how much and wen then as i dont relly want to be driving it around with this problem

i'll have a word with him but wont be till during the week, prob do it between christmas/new year if he can

buy your own software for £65

the light has gone off now on its own? hope it doesnt come back on lol

the fault will still be recorded in the ecu

well its not showing up atm so its all good

yeah but will still be recorded in the ecu so you will still be able to find out what it was that caused it

well il do it when i got some cash

the fault will still be there just a matter of time till it comes on again

well unless you can get it done for free it will be there until i got cash

Is it an OBD-II port? I have an OBD reader which will give the engine fault numbers.

i think it is mate not 100% sure

well, does the port look like:

all standard pug fit from 1997 iirc so would be the same pod fitting as the 306

yeah, exactly what i was thinking. My XSi has the port, as does the GTi-6, but on those it isn't OBD-II (not required on UK/Euro cars till 2001 sadly)

turn you fone on ollie

It is mate, however i'm in brynhoffnant at the moment, so got no signal I'm guessing you want me to read your ecu.
