[What's Burning?]

Anyone try these Blue Tooth ODB2 Diagnostic Tool before?

I almost pulled the trigger on buying a proprietary reader but they're about 120~150 dollars! Coupled with an Android app like Torque Pro I can buy both for under 30 bucks... falls under the too good to be true category but the reviews for both are actually stellar.

Bump...

Seriously does no one fix their own cars here? On an F1 forum? Scotty not even you?

Don't have one so can't fix it.

We get the mechanics to fix them for us. Mine have been great all season, apart from a broken roll bar once.

Some of us can't afford the 90 to 120 dollars an hour mechanic's fee. Seriously, one good repair done on your own is the difference between three or four hundred dollars more in your pocket than less!

Plus I can say that I know what antifreeze tastes like.

Well, with all the sticky wheel nuts and gearbox issues, I'm not surprised you have to do yours yourself.

[weak joke, as you mentioned f1 forum, I pointed out in f1 they have sperate mechanics, and referred to the Ferrari ones, I don't actually have a car]

I have used the VAGcom ODB2 reader, that saved me a lot of cash when I had the golf.

Now I have the Landy, electronics are a thing of the future. The radio reception goes when it rains.

But they're so much easier to fix! What year is it?

Most people who can make that claim probably don't own cars.

Ouch!

I use a handheld reader. I got it in 05 when no one had smartphones and such. When they go on sale at Canadian Tire it's a real steal.

[Jabberwocky]

I finally upgraded to Torque Pro

Slim pickings on the PID front for the Bimmer though

Did a 3 minute journey with the fault code checker running. Thing lit up like a christmas tree.

30% of scan complete. 2 faults found.

Only the 2 faults found. Which I knew about luckily.
