Who has diagnostics kit available and where are you?

RobbieH · Oct 18th, 2011, 10:50

I noted that a thread was started with a member location map. I 've added to it and included text to say I have a VCT/Vida combo available for code reading and re-setting. I've also seen that Mike (outnumbered) has done the same. The problem is, there is no way of highlighting this so it's obvious to someone looking for local diagnostics.

I've asked a mod if the thread can be made a sticky and even if the forum can have something like as a permanent (and relatively prominent) fixture.

In the meantime, to help members in trouble maybe we could start up a list here? Something simple, who - what you got - roughly where.

I'll start:

Robbie H - VCT2000/Vida 2008c - Manchester

I'm based near Oakham in Rutland....3 miles from the A1.

Vol-FCR
bham/solihull area

*other generic ODBII sw as well. + torque

Vol-FCR
and an ELM327 generic reader with a few different programs.

Have used VOL-FCR to reset the service light on my 850 but it won't read codes, don't think it likes the USB-Serial converter i use with my laptop! Has been fine on a 99 V70 tho and should work on most other models that are OBD2 equipped. The 850 is a bit fussy when it comes to diagnostics!

I'm in Derby if i can help anyone out.

Cheers,
Adam

I did mention in that thread about using certain indicators for the different models, I know its incredibly anal but if we did we could have assigned a symbol for people willing to share their diagnostic software with others.
