Buying Diagnostic Computer

[St3v3]

My engine management light comes on when i start my car....stays on for a while and then turns off. My car revs very bad....almost stalls, if u rev it a bit hard it will just stall(any ideas??!). So i decided to by a diagnostic computer, had a look on ebay, r any of these worth my muny or same as verything else on ebay??

best of just going into citroen and sticking it on there diagnostics computer

only thing with that is wen i took mine to citroen they charged £55 just to tell me nothing was wrong.

i wouldn't trust them off ebay, why not just get it into a good garage for a service...hopee you get it resolved

I have an OBD 2 computer from ebay, its worth the money imo. However if you go to citroen they will hook it up and for £55 tell you what needs doing. Then you get it done somewhere else. With the ebay engine management computers it can be difficult to work out what is wrong from the code!

I bought an ELM327 but couldnt get it working with a 2000 model VTS :sad:

It would be best to go to a garage mate as a proper diagnostic computer cost a few thousand pound my garage charges £39.99 for a car to be put on the diagnostic's computer then they will tell you exactly what the problem is :y:
