Torque app only reads dtc's nothing else ,, you need proper diagnostics like launch snap on bosch etc etc to read abs and airbag faults

If your close to sandbach you can bob down my garage and ill plug it in for you 
What has been said already, only works for reading basic codes.
no you don't. You just need more than a chinese made code reader. Clip is actually quite inferior in a lot of ways. It runs on windows XP to start with
I've got a tool that does ABS and Airbag on Renaults and its not Clip or RS Tuner.
99% of the cheaper ones though only do DTC codes and nothing else.

Reasonably priced too! Cheers mate
The Autel is a good unit and a good price , i have used them in the past
Will Torque be able to read fault codes with a better OBD interface?
Nope.
The Torque app only plugs into the OBD and reads any info it can get so that it can populate the dials etc. It can only read and clear DTC codes
OK. Just bought a 182 and it's coming up with an electric error and going into limp home mode. From what I've read it could be the throttle pedal, throttle body, lambda sensor, a plug or the loom itself. I think I'm going to have to get used to driving it in limp home mode.
I took mine to a Halfords Autocentre and the bloke came out into the car park and plugged it in with a portable one for free with mine when it was misfiring.
