Which Code Reader

[trufflehunt]

Hi

A few weeks ago my local repairer charged me £43 to read and reset
an error code.

Since then I've had fuel pump problems. Seems to me that reading error codes is quite profitable.

The code readers I've seen on ebay all seem to say suitable for 2001 cars onwards. Mine is a 2000 HDI.

So what is the garage using?

The only things gauranteed to work on a pre-2004, (non EOBD compliant) Pug diesel are a PP2000/clone or some of the top-end professional stuff that costs a lot more.
Some other readers might work, (i.e. read / reset the fault codes), but won't give you anything like the details planet will, or allow you to monitor live data in the same way.

I use torque with an android phone on mine. I can get most of the li've data as well and reset the ecu just have a look on eBay
I got the one that works o Ford's as the last car was an early mondeo.

I have an ELM 327 bluetooth that definitely doesn't work on my 2002 HDi 90.

As Doggy says, there's no point bothering with anything other than Planet.

Besides here, PeugeotForums has a map of Peugeot Planet owners who might be able to help you. The Coupe Club is also a good place to find Planet owners.

Could be handy to have a thread to collate a list of members with diagnostics.

I agree, that's a good idea - now there's a few more of us, it's getting difficult to remember where everyone lives

[madmadmax]

well you can put me in there

Me too - it's the lack of a 'there' to put us in that seems to be the issue......

So that makes three of us so far then.

I have the ELM327 which cost about a tenner of E-Bay. This works fine with the 'Torque PRO' app I have on my Android phone. My car is a 406 2003 2.2HDi Exec.

NB: The 'paid for' Torque app is a lot better than the free one as it gives more details on the fault codes. It also has better gauges etc.
