Car diagnostics


Recommended Posts

does anyone know of a mobile car diagnostic that will come and check my car?

 

I'm sure any garage with one of those tools would do. But bear in mind, they'll most likely charge you for the call-out and the reading of the results.

 

Minimum I'd say is about £40.

The problem is the cheap generic code readers don't often give that much info.

 

For example, on our Peugeot forum a chap bought a code reader to find out why it wasn't starting very well.

 

The reader reported a P code for glow plug relay.

 

He changed the relay but it was still the same.

 

If he'd asked one of the members for a proper diagnostic with specific Peugeot diag tools we'd have done it for the price of a beer (a tenner tops), got the same fault code but also done a full diagnostic test on the relay to find it wasn't that but something else.
