C30 Engine : - Fault codes

Is there any way to get the car to show you what's upsetting it without visiting the dealers.

Got the classic "Engine System Service Required" on the D5 and it's booked in for thursday, but it's bugging me to know what's up before hand. Cruise and everything still working fine.

Not that, last dealings with the oil was serviced by the dealer it's going back too almost 2 months ago now, and it's had the fix to prevent rising oil levels.

I'm a little scared in case it's DPF based though.

If you have an android phone then a bluetooth ODBII reader and the torque app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...bC50b3JxdWUiXQ.. is probably about the best combination.
