H.P Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Hey all. I have started having issues with me 63 plate smax. A few weeks ago the engine malfunction light came on, so took it to a garage and it cost me £45 for them to read the code (DPF fault) and reset it. Today the engine light came on again and then about 2 miles later the car went into limp mode. Instead of paying the garage again what’s the best reader I can buy to find out the code and try and fix it myself? thanks huw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 The very best is the software FORScan which is also free. You will need a good connection lead. Use the vLinker FS cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isetta Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 The software is Free for windows and about 6 quid for iPhone and android. Easily pays for itself to have the obd device and forscan software. As found, one reading at a garage can cost more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
