reader

I have been searching for a fault code reader for my jan 97 c180 w202 with the 38 pin socket - some reatilers have said that the EU702 might do the job and apparantly in its menu it has the w202 listed from june/07 onwards - this is so close i was wandering if anyone here has used a scanner that...

can anyome recommend a fault code reader that will read the engine fault codes on a late 1996 c180 w202 with the later ecu and 38 pin socket - i know i will need an adaptor but there is a bewildering array out there and i would like one to read fault codes for the maf, lambda etc thanks

Hi. Recently purchased a 2000 E430 Estate and looking for a manual to do servicing etc. I have searched on hear and realise that there is no Haynes, but is there a manual on CD that people reccomend which will cover my V8 car? Will also want to get a code reader for it. being built in...

I ve been planning on buying a code reader for some time but before I take the plunge I want to make sure it will work with my car. Any body have any idea which protocol is needed ,OBD OBD2 or is there something else used on Mercs. Also where is the diag socket? (98 320sport btw) Thanks in advance.

I've just purchased an Autel MaxiDiag fault code reader in the hope it would help sort out the S class. I gave it a quick twirl in the Coupe and it worked brilliantly, told me my right/front ABS sensor was faulty and cleared it, it does live data and stuff too. It's not exactly Star or Tech2 but...

Just had a look around the engine bay this morning and in the top right corner, there is a cap which comes off, revealing a plu like thingy :D 1. Is this the only location to plug in a diagnostic tool, or will there be something inside the car too? 2. I'm going to order a U581 code reader...

Having read a very useful thread regarding scanners, I feel it is a wise investment to buy one for our W202 C220CDi. :) I had a quick look on eBay and there are quite a few. To be honest, I don't quite know what I should be looking for, so I have posted up several models and am wondering...

My benevolent employer has given us £50 in vouchers :thumb: Argos is one of the shops that will redeem them and while browsing I found this. Has anyone any experience of it? Pointless toy or useful bit of kit? Car is a W203 C200cdi '04. Mrs. Stratman has an '09 Fiat Panda (brilliant...

I have an occasional problem with my engine warning light that appears due to a mass airflow sensor(according to the diagnostic device at the garage I use) It is a 2001 model SLK 230. I would like to buy a device that I can check and reset this myself as it is getting rather expensive at £30 a...

I have decided its time to buy a reader of my own; does anyone have any recommendations. It is for personal use not for a workshop so am looking at the budget end of the market - appreciate that there will be limitations - knowing what these are would also be useful. Thank you.

I am thinking of investing in a code reader as we have a fair few cars in the family and it would be handy. Now I have no idea what to look for in a reader so some advice would be appreciated. As far as I can tell all our cars are ODBII: W203 C Coupe 2004 Toyota Avensis 2003 Honda Civic 2004...

Hi guys, My mate has been round with his code reader, it looks like a posh mobile phone with a scart lead coming out of it. trouble is we could'nt find where you plug it in on my 2001 w210 petrol E320 Avantgarde..........any ideas????? cheers guys

hi, after taking advise from the forum i got myself a fault code reader. i have managed to replace all of my plugs now, all plugs where very hard to get out, all very poor condition, i'll post a photo later to show how bad they were. after that i thought all i had to do was plug in the code...

My FCR arrived yesterday, and it's already found it's first fault - P0314, intermittent misfire, unspecified cylinder. On a colleagues Renault Clio, I might add. Reads & clears generic OBDII codes, nothing M-B specific, no live data. But for £25 including delivery, I can live with that. Ian.

I've got a problem with one of the cars, a Volvo XC70. Well, two actually, the first relates to the cooling system, and the second to the A/C control board on the dash. As the car is a 2003 model, I think that a fault-code reader would be a good idea... but I'm not sure which model.... any...

There are various things I would like to do to my car but without the MB star computer I can't (change brakes ect). Does any one have any ideas were to get one system cheaply that could do things like this without going down the chinese or e-bay route.

hi all ,are these any good, havent got any issues at the moment but was thinking could save me time and money in the future...

Bro, I saw the message on the speedometer screen: SETTINGS..., PRESS "R BUTTON" FOR 3 SECONDS TO RESET. Can anyone explain where is the "R BUTTON"? W203, Year 2003 model (orange colour speedometer: before face lift) Thanks! Rgds, Derek
