K-Tec HAND HELD CODE READER

[Els]

Anyone bought one of these yet? looks like a good investment.

My mate is an Auto electrician and he lives near me so any faults i can just take it to him and he can take them off for me (not that ive had any on the clio, but i have with other cars) but for someone thats not that lucky this could be pretty good....

Any ideas anyone?

£25 off e-bay

 

[Els]

They have put in the bottom

This unit has been tested to work on Renault models, many hand held testers do not work on Renaults.

Is that true?

 

[Fred@BTM]

cant you do something with the digi dash that give you some error codes?
I remember doing something with mine and found it was showing an error, there was a thread on it ages ago

Once the reader finds the fault codes, what can be done from there?

 

[Els]

U can clear them and remove engine managment light (Handy for decated cars)

Cool, is it a OBD 2 one i need? thats what there advertising on ebay...

Come in handy if my light comes on with my new decat, save bugging my mate 2 much LOL

IS it worth me getting it if my graph and spring light came up?

Rubish.

The only decinet ones is the Clip £5k price. Even the snap on £3k stuff and the autoleads place one at £3k don't do everything that you want.

What works on 2005+ models that use CAN bus - those ones above specify they are not CAN bus compatible? Has anyone found one that will work?

 

[hkka]

Is it common to get an error code? What if it shown an error code?
Solve the problem or clear the code? If we don't solve the problem, error code will come again right?
