Handy Electronic Vehicle Diagnostics Tools

Post by roma071 »

Hi All,

I recently had the engine management light come on in my 2002 VW Passat. I wanted to know why without paying expensive garage bills and knowing if it was what they said it was. I looked on the internet and found a great company Talk To My Car. I gave them a ring and they were really helpful and with next day delivery I had the light diagnosed and reset within seconds of receiving it. It turns out it was just a glitch and the tool has already saved me money. If you need something for electronic diagnostics take a look at http://www.talktomycar.co.uk they have a huge range of code readers for all budgets.

Not spam

This is not spam just thought some people would appreciate the info, take it or leave it, but it saved me quite a few quid and I still have the tool for future use.

I had a look and £40 looks cheap to sort out problems that a garage would charge lots for. These warning lights are more trouble than they are worth and the error codes never seem to help diagnosis.
