Lexia? Buying advice needed please

[kmak577]

Looking at getting it to work on a c2 for forced dpf regeneration, and maybe to add cruise control. Would also be useful to play with the saxo too. Never had any kind of diagnostics kit before so a bit out of my depth when it comes to buying it. Any ideas what exactly I need and best place to buy? Also anyone know of any tutorial type links for using it?

Cheers for any help.

Lexia is designed to work on pre 2001 saxo's,after 2001 it's an obd2 scanner that you need.

Would you please be able to point me in the direction of such a device please. Want something that is fairly capable and not just a code reader. Aka can reset eolys fluid levels, play about with activating cruise control etc. Any recommendations?

What is the difference between Lite and Full ver.?

[Manu]

Anyone else correct me if I'm wrong, but a lite version will not erase fault codes.


Thread necro, but on the subject of forced regen and blocked DPF, buy 2 bottles of Diesel Magic (Comms) and put one per full tank. Second tank, go sit on the motorway at 50mph in third gear if you have a 5 speed gearbox, or 55 in 4th gear if you have a 6 speed gearbox (no faster than that).

It usually takes 10 minutes for the exhaust to reach regen temperatures and burn the shit out of the DPF.

I asked the guy that sells Lexia and he said the only difference is that Full ver. supports more cars.

Good .

I'm considering PSA COM vs Lexia Lite.It's hard to find feedback from these it's like they are rarely used.

[Alexa]

Looks like PSA COM wins
