Hi, I am posting this query for a friend so please work with me on this.
He owns a 1990 SL500 V8, his engine management light has come on and his local garages say there is no way of reading the on board diagnostic as it's not OBDII compliant.
Mercedes say they need to take the ECU of the car download the codes and send them to Mercedes in Germany for interpretation as there computer can only store them and not display them??
Can anyone offer any advice on how to obtain said fault codes, or is it really as Merc tell him? any advice to this guy that I may pass on??
Many thanks for your help in advance.
