The first thing to say is that it is without doubt in my and my mates mind BRILLIANT.
Ok so why is that. Well we've just spent 2hrs using on our three TD5's of various ages and specifications.
1. I appear to have cured my permanently running condensor fan problem on Françoise (2002) and cleared one or two fault codes;
2. I have managed to set the suspension to coils on my Silver (1999) car, so no more air suspension faults are being logged;
3. We have identified on my mates car (1999) that the MAF is snookered so he's off to get another one.
Overall it feels very stable and easy to use, took no time at all to get the hang of it in general - detailed knowledge will have to follow.
It has some imo great features like being able to test loads of different electrical circuits and switches for correct operation.
Altogether feel like a very workmanlike kit and I'm looking forward to using it a lot.
On certain sensors it gives values in 2 different sets of units such as the MAF: *kg/minute of air as well as a voltage value. The voltage can be compared with figures in RAVE (unfortunately RAV only says between 0-5volts
) but it would be helpful to have normal operating values for the various sensors:
MAF, MAP, Ambient temp, fuel temp etc etc etc does anyone has a list of values so that I can compare mine to see if they are operating within range?
Also, does anyone has a list of fault codes for Disco II and a description of what they are?
When reading fault codes with HAWKEye, you are given a code (4 didgits) number and the system has a look-up facillity - problem is that in the look-up it has a letter (one of 4 if I remember correctly) as well as the 4 digit code so I've not been succesful with the look-up just yet.
Currently very pleased with purchase.
