So yeah, I bought an nice handheld scanner (MaxiScan MS300) for 35 euro. comes with CD and manual with codes. Plugged in on to the OBD connector and had is scan the car. Result: code P0171. The one the garage got the first time. After an evening of searching Also found out the garage did every...

I know but 500 bucks?

Update. Got myself a cheap OBD scanner online. Not going for the iPhone connect thing. But a simple handheld. Today we decided to check out a Honda Dealer on our way back home and they had a nice 1.6 sport (2005) so I had the chance to inspect and check the inside a bit. I like what I saw but it...

So little update from me. I'm planning to sell the Polo soon. But first I want to buy a OBD scanner to read out the error code. Also to show the next buyer that its not a bad thing. And the car can be driven perfectly. I was looking for a Wifi OBD scanner so I could read it out with my iPhone...

Did some thinking on the whole subject but seeing both the cable and the wifi adaptor will cost at least 100 bucks. Thats ex the iPhone app that will also run for about 30. For me that is a bit to much for just checking / deleting codes. So I'm thinking of going for a normal scanner. But don't...

Hells yes! Just don't get why the cable cost more than the Bluetooth version :???:

Found out that the plug the guy in the video is using will run for about 100 bucks :shock: did some more searching and found that there are some Bluetooth options for about 15 bucks. Seeing that the wifi version also will cost around 150 (highend) guess that would be the cheapest option...

Good question, well it uses the wifi to connect to the iPhone but I don't know if it could run on 3G at the same time. The iPhone might want to try getting internet via the Wifi. Using Bluetooth however eliminates that problem. Btw there is also an option to go for a cable. Like the one shown in...

Yeah I've seen the e-Bay connectors running for about 50 buck or so but a brand one will run about 3 times as much... Which one are you getting now? Let us know when you do I'm curious :)

@Cob18, it not only "swanky gauges" it also does reaching the check engine light and can reset it. So it does that and a little more. And because you have a divice with internet on it it had the option to look for the error code without connecting to a pc. @alex_n/a, yupe it does iPod touch...

OBD reader wifi iPhone? I'm new to the whole OBD thing but sadly I have enough experience with it with my old VW Polo 6n2. (http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=208068) I'm planning on selling it, but before I wanted to read out the error code it has been giving me every time. It...

I was thinking of buying one of does. Are they universal for all cars? Nope not yet. But to be honest I'm not planning to spent a lot of money on it anymore. And giving the fact that the garage could not find the failure I'm not sure If I could fix it myself. But I might give it a try. Know...

Check on all the above. Cleaned and sapped.

Yupe, we swapped the "bobine" (coil) but without result. Also all the spark plugs have been swapped.

The error says that in the first cylinder the fuel / air mix is not "optimal". Below is a list of things exchanged / checked. It's in Dutch. Hope it makes some kind of sens... Of course I know that turning the check light off doesn't fix it. ;) But we wanted to know if it's was something...

Yes and yes. The check light has been on as long as I have the car and the garage didn't know how to fix it. The VW dealer also didn't know. They offered to completely check the car ect. but didn't had and idea what the cost will be. At that point I decided f*ck it. I'll drive it like it is and...

Any idea how to fix it on a VW Polo too? :P If I can fix it I could ask a couple bucks more when I sell it :D

A litte update form my side, still looking for that one CTR on all the 2nd hand websites. And stil hoping I will find a 2005 one with less then 100.000 on the clock for a good price near by. Found one last week but that one is on the east side of Germany then you'll be looking at a 500 km drive...

Yesterday it had to get his APK... But it failed. 375 euro for breaks etc. BALLS! Well at least it's something I can sell with the car. New APK is always nice.

haha you guys wanna see pic of my Polo? Wel ok :)
