Do the AA carry fault code readers?

[Paddy_g46]

Just wondered if I was to call out the AA over my limp mode issues would they be able to plug in and see the fault codes?

Yes they do, albeit a laptop they can read faults on. Usually only for breakdowns at the roadside, they won't just call round your house for a free scan.

surely being that my car keeps going into limpmode is a breakdown? "Hi, I cant drive my car, it keeps loosing power". No?

It depends which level of cover you have, but if you have home start then they should do, yes

 

[Soot1e]

Yes, only on Homestart.

Did you buy a Sealey one? I've got one of them and its ace for the money!

I dont know of anyone local with an RS tuner unfortunately. Maybe I need to start going to local meets lol

[Paddy_g46]

LOL!!

The amount of times I have bought battery chargers/jumpstart things from argos and brought them back lol. I just see it as a free rental

Lol. I thought it seemed a bit pointless to buy one instead of waiting for the AA. But as you're taking it back, it all makes sense..
