i have a few problems with poor running on petrol at the moment and have tried all the obvious stuff, leads, plugs, MAF.....ect... i also have some annoying faults on the dash display which I'd like cleared but am reluctant to go to a garage to be ripped off.....
so been looking at fault code readers and alike but now just confused to which one....?
the faultmate FCR looks good but you cant change anything, just read and clear faults....but does it tell you anything else...?...and it's locked to one car...can this ever be overridden if i change to another P38?
the MSV-2 i dont think is locked...? and it can change other parameters...?
or a Nanocom.....!!??? i dunno....!
So.... I'd like a fault code reader/ clearer.......but don't know whats best? I'd also like some more functionality..... but cost always makes the decision...!
And...i am quite hands on...and will try to do most jobs myself unless special equipment is needed....how easy are these to use....?
thanks
