Diagnostics tools
I just stumbled across this:
http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_CTOBD.html
which looked interesting, but says it excludes Escorts on the list (dunno why?
)
I want it for my 1998 GTi
but what about this, this doesnt say anything about excluding Escorts:
http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_TMPWM.html
and do you think they are any good?
cheers

That tool has EOBD conector . for cars 2000 year and newer. although a lot of cars older use this conector. like the fiesta. escort 98 year does not have this type.

Gareth is right, Fault codes can only be a small part of the true story of
the fault and usually only a symptom.
The real talent is understanding why the fault code is there and
understanding how the individual engine/ecu works and that takes
experience or as most garages do.....
...guess, change a part and see what happens next and charge you for the pleasure.
