but that costs you money, my Vx dealer charge almost £50 to plug in the Tech1.

Do the same job for free with a paper clip.

With new cars you have to take em to your dealer, get them to read and clear the fault code via computer.....diagnostic check carried out........

Thats right but I don't know when this break year was.
It seems t be different on different models.
But for in this case it s for a C20LET engine, and all C20LET's use Motronic 2.7 so they ALL can be read via paper clip.
