Which fault code reader

[Newbie004]

Hi all,

I need to buy a fault code reader for my 182. I have researched a bit on the internet but there are so many types so wondered if anyone had any recommendations. Has to include ABS and airbag functions. Only to be used at home so reasonably priced but not cheap and useless haha.

Thanks in advance

Carsoft one mate. I sold one to @JamesBryan think it was the i90
That did ABS etc

 

[Newbie004]

Sounds good. Used to use an rs tuner but it has packed up and always had trouble connecting it to the computer. You sold one? Do you have any more to sell?

Yeah the iCarsoft i907 it is.

Definitely does scan ABS and airbag faults.

It was just one I had when I had my megane/Clio mate and then sold it on now I have no use for it as it was Renault specific for anything other than the simple diagnostic

You can get a knock of can clip on eBay for less than a tonne.

Think @Gus has a clip copy, so he'll know if it's worth getting

Crp129. Costs about £200 and does lots.

Isn't Clip abit of a pig to use though? Like clunky, mega-out dated software and stuff.

Renault don't still use it do they?

Yeah, it's their only means of diagnostics and re-programming.

It's not bad once you get used to it.

Never used it but surely it can't be any worse than op com or puegoet planet which I have . Both are shocking

Gents... sorry to dig this up, but saves a new thread.

Where do I buy CLIP? or another software that’ll read my 172 and turn features on or off

Thanks

Hi all, sorry to drag this thread up again but I'm after a universal scanner that will read airbags and abs. Is the iCarsoft i907 Renault specific or will it work on others makes as I also have an Honda Accord.
Thanks for any help in advance Phil

I use one for quick reads and graphing live data, good for that.

Not used one with the Renault software on but is imagine it will be fine on the Clio as it's pretty basic anyway.

I think they're brand specific for the the airbag/abs side of things, but general fault codes it'll work on anything

Dragging this thread up again....
What’s the best reader for a 2000 1.2 clio, I don’t mind if it’s laptop based or I phone based but I’ll need a program and the interface unit That is either usb cable / Wifi or Bluetooth
Cheers

Would like to also know if there is a universal one that does it all as I have 3 vehicles (2 Renault, 1 VW) rather than buying all specific programs would just like a one does all

Dragging this old thread up again.

Is this the right clip? Says it’s the latest software, is that too late for a 182?

I’ve just got this one, reads all computers, live data is really handy also.
Can have 10 different manufactures loaded on at your leisure too.

Pardon our interruption...

I was going to get clip but from what I’ve read it will only run on 32bit laptops, all 3 in my house are 64 bit 👎🏿

Have you tried the EPB (service mode and calibration) and BMS reset features?

I'm interested in getting a code reader that will also do these features for Volvo, Porsche and BMW but it's a minefield out there, so many different Chinese code readers all claiming to do the same thing in a vague manner.

haven’t tried either yet, can’t see it being a problem. It’s done everything I’ve wanted it to do so far without any problems.

Bit of a delay here, do you still have the above tool?

Do you know if it will read live data from the clio (mk3) abs sensors? I know quite specific but I'm sure I recall you are/were a renault tech!
