yes but the link i listed gives you the ecu codes for the gear box ecu, the alarm ecu  ect, the others you uys have listed just give engine ecu codes, unless i am missing something ?

Without a proper code reader, these are useless, which is why we haven't posted them up Wink.

Anything capable of reading these systems invariably give you the text for what it means.  Sadly, most of these devices get it wrong for codes that have multiple fault options.

OPCOM, which AFAIK isn't available in the UK, should give the text descriptions anyway, though I know it frequently gets it wrong for those faults that share the same code.

I think AutoM3 are the developers and Ilexa sell it as VAUX-COM in the UK.
