Was thinking along the lines of something like this :-\
LINK (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360501633719?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D360501633719%26_rdc%3D1)
Looking for one cheap that will do all the essentials, clearing codes, eml, etc..
Thanks.

That ones good enough for basics Jay. Obviously won`t talk to other systems, ABS, autobox, alarm , SRS etc

Would something like this (which has been mentioned in a few old threads be a better choice)

Could do with one that has live data to check this pedal trick code
P0130 - Indicates a fault on an O2 sensor which probably needs live data to see if it's a slow O2 sensor or something else causing a fault on that bank.
I was thinking i could delete all the codes presently on the car then see which ones come back then look further into them :-\

Is that the sort of price they are or is there a preferred website that sell them ?

Received today the Autel MS509
Only 2 stored codes on the 3.2 Elite bank 1 & 2 CATS below efficiency which is common for 3.2s i believe and no pending codes.
Cleared EML according to the device...
But it wouldn't clear a airbag light on my 2005 1.5TD Hyundai and doesn't work with the 2.2 Omega :-\
( if i put the live date info up and O2 live date can anyone check the results ? Trouble is the device wont connect to the laptop so will have to put the data in manually typing it :o ;D )

Probably will be sending it back not before collecting the data mind get something out of this .
Will try uploading pictures/videos of the live data from the 3.2 readout :y

509 needs ignition switched on with the majority of 2.2`s

Tried the ignition on / off and engine on it wasn't having it doesn't really matter all seems well with the 2.2.

Okay here's the Live Data put into a video was easier this way. Will upload the O2 Live Data next.

EDIT: This is from the 3.2 Elite.

And the Live Date for the O2 think i've done this correctly.

Was it a genuine one, or one of the copies? The copies are shit.

Had a chat with amazon they will take it back no problem free returns as well :y
The Live Data from the 3.2 seemed okay not sure about the O2 if i did it correct or not but its running fine so can't be much wrong with it :)
-
I feel so hurt no one had a look :'( :'( ::) ;D
Oh yeah the Code Reader has been sent back to Amazon today no need for it anymore if it had cleared the air bag light on my other car i'd have kept it in a heart beat.
Thanks for the help anyways going to sulk in a dark room now :'( ::)

Not keen on that MAF output...but never seen one recorded like that for a comparrison

and 3.2 / 2.6 MAF's are known weak...

Three questions, chaps.
1. Will it work on a 2.6 Omega?
2. Will it work on a 2003 Corsa 1.2 SXI?
3. How can I tell if it's a cheap copy (fake) that won't work properly?
If all Okay I'll buy one for just over thirty quid. :y :y

Thanks, Henry. It's from Amazon, so if it turns out to be worse than useless they're usually happy to give a refund. :y
I think I'll risk it. :y
-
Hang on, reading back through this thread.......it looks like it's a copy that doesn't work properly. :(
-
All seems well with the car, It did clear the Pre cat codes on the 3.2 but I couldn't get it to work with the 2.2 for some reason. Hard to say if it was a copy or not tbh :-\
-

Did you see any anomalies in the videos I haven't got a clue what any of it means, Especially the O2 as the pedal trick did through up some O2 errors codes some months ago TB suggested live date but I don't know what to look for hence the videos :'( :-\

My one works on my 2.2 no problem at all :y

Aaron has one of these, that I borrowed, works fine for code reading clearing on engine and Auto box. Don't recall any other ecu's available.
Live data on engine, I didn't see/use any graphs, but the data set seemed comprehensive enough, considering.
Bit late, but if checking lambdas, expect to see the figures oscillating between high and low, once they are warmed up and the engine is up to temp. I would imagine the live data option would give a graph showing that info...?
Bit late though. ::)
-
Okay here's the Live Data put into a video was easier this way. Will upload the O2 Live Data next.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7w4f41EmBw&feature=em-upload_owner
EDIT: This is from the 3.2 Elite.
What are the expected figures for the MAF when it's reached temperature at idle on a 3.2
Just gone over the live data video on the MAF again. It's fluctuating between g/s 3.75 - 4.0 going by other threads shouldn't it be around 15.00 ? Would this indicate the MAF is on its way out ?
Thanks..

Not bad price, might have to invest in one at some point :-\

The MAF readings aren't in the same units as the Tech2 guideline figures, so it's hard (read: very) to compare them directly.. yours sounds like about what mine read on the MS509 though, from memory, and it read fine on the Tech2, meaning that number ought to be about right :y

Thanks aaronjb :)
It's driving fine no hesitations or stalling etc., Just thought I'd ask :y

I'll check what the readings are on mine for you next time I see Chris (as he has my reader) :y

Hi guys,
I have this scanner on order (hoping it'll arrive today or tomorrow).
i watched a good Eric the Car Guy video and really it's use is to just clue you in. When you're looking at the o2 sensor output for example, youre not really looking at the exact figures. youre just looking to see o2 1 flipping from high to low and o2 2 just staying around zero.
-
Exactly - computers can't replace human intuition.. so there's a degree of interpretation of stuff you need to do (not always, but a lot of the time)
-
A code reader can't tell you want is wrong, it can only guide you in diagnosis.
3.0 is about 13kg/hr

Or about 3.6g/s, which I think is the units the MS509 is using.. If my maths is right :)

I like the wording in this one:-
