Default any geeky car techies here
I am about to purchase a BMW diagnostics kit because Id rather spend the 100 quid it costs me for it than the 100 quid a throw at the main steelers.



also a PCMCIA interface adaptor.



all in with software for 100 quids I had my BMW hooked up to my cousins £3,000 dedicated code reader/diagnostic machine and It detected that both my boost pressure and EGR flow rate was too low and after some investigation it flagged up two 3 more faults which were

no 1 and 4 glow plug inefficient and the mas ar flow meter and air temp sensor faulty.

I knew there was somthing up when My car would go into limp mode after 300 miles of constand driving and After a Mass air flow sensor and air temp sensor replacement and a code reset my car was back with avengance no more limping onto approach ramps at 30 mph in 3rd gear at 5krpm which was very dangerous.

my thinking is that it could make me a good little hobby and some money too seeing as the average charge is 30 quid for an OBD II diagnostic scan that takes less than 20 mins to complete.

what you guys think eh
