d_stirling Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Hi, Does anyone out there know any diagnostics kits like VAGcom but for Citroen? Don't want to buy a chinese clone and looking to spend between £300 - £500. I've been looking on google but not found anything yet... thanks Dave Quote
paul.h Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Welcome to the forum.Only ones that seem to be mentioned on here are the Lexia copies, lower priced EOBD, EOBD that also do live data and there is also a Sealey PSA one that adds ABS and airbags to the EOBD and live data. Quote
d_stirling Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 Thanks Paul, that's what I thought...hopefully someone will make something that doesn't cost the earth...I live in hope... Quote
d_stirling Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Just an update on this one...I just got an email about something called a Superscan Solo: https://www.mavericktechnology.co.uk/products/superscan-solo-peugeot-citroen It's looks like it'll cover my Berlingo and my wifes 407 really well and it's in my price range...just!...I'm going to do a bit more research but I'm seriously considering getting one...watch this space...

paul.h Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Looks ok but it appears to need the subscription renewing every year so the initial £395 + vat (£474) only covers one year. Quote
d_stirling Posted November 13, 2013 Author Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Paul, No, according to the website the tool does not need a subscription after the first year. "- Solo comes with a 12 month free software subscription and any new ASM-X software release can be downloaded at no extra charge whilst in subscription- New subscriptions are available to purchase after 12 months if required- Solo's ASM-X software does not "Time Out" or stop working if you do not pay future subscriptions" I've spoken to the missus and she's giving me an early xmas present - I'll let you know what it's like ;) Dave Quote
d_stirling Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Just thought I'd give you an update on the Superscan Solo I purchased recently. It covers both of our vehicles extremely well (2008 Belingo II 1.6 hdi and a 2009 407 2.0 hdi). You have to download the software but it installed very easily and I managed to connect the bluetooth to my laptop. This is definitely a professional tool as the amount of things it can do on both cars is incredible - full live data on all the ecu's, actuation tests on pretty much everything and lots of "special functions" which I've not needed yet but there are certainly lots to choose from. I've also found the built-in forum really helpful as most of the people on there are independent specialists who know what they are talking about. So far I'm more than happy and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to get in-depth diagnostic coverage for Peugeot and Citroen (they also do Solo's for Fiat, Ford, Land Rover and Renault). cheers Dave Quote
coastline taxis Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 does it cover c5s. and in live data does it have a option to do graphs. overall it sounds like a good bit of kit at a very nice price Quote
d_stirling Posted May 22, 2014 Author Posted May 22, 2014 was just sent an email from the guys who make the Superscan Solo....looks interesting: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nebulasystems/mech5-vehicle-diagnostics-for-everyone cheers Dave Quote
