cannot justify spending another £45 (it would be the 3rd time) to get a code read on my car.
so, i have been looking at OBD 2 readers from ebay.
not having done this before, just wondering if anyone has any experience with one off ebay?
i was looking at this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-FAULT-COD ... 35be5e2b2b
the seller says it can talk to the ECU safely - are there risks that it wont? what harm could it do?
they also says the cd contains all possible codes for all cars - how is this possible? i thought this information was held exclusively by the manufacturer? (this may be my inexperince showing through here..)
i'm reluctant to take it to another garage, again, and the little faith i had in garages to begin with has all but diminished amongst the high costs and very little help i have received in return. i've tried 3 different garages so far and they all just do something that costs me money and doesnt solve the problem. f**king sick of it.
so, rant aside, anyone done this before with much luck?
