Thread: Check Engine Light - Code Readers

Hi guys!
We at GAP-Diagnostic provide support for the IIDTool - and we try! We really do.

If you have any questions/comments/gripes etc, please don't hesitate to contact us directly either at support@ or GAPTeam@our web site .com.
Home - GAP Diagnostic (please no PMs - not on Aulro too often... no time, unfortunately).

Please let us know if you have any sort of trouble locating a dealer. We will make sure you are taken care of. (alternatively googling 'IIDTool' will net 3-4 online shops. I know that not all ship to oz, but most do. And the IIDTool is not expensive to ship).

Colin (BBS) is a good guy and he has some very good products. When you shop for a product like this, you do need to take items like support into consideration.

Ultimately you'll need to compare price, functionality and features and make a decision. You will not go wrong either way.

cheers,
Steve

Hi Oldsalt,

You are right (OOPs, sorry Steve) The manufacturer was GAP Diagnostics.

I had a similar experience with a Rovacraft.Surprising pricing & long delays.

After I contacted Steve, everything was sorted with remarkable ease.

Great backup for the Activation and for the latest (free) firmware updates months after purchase.

Landed price was about $400.00 Aud from a UK Retailer. Delivery was about a week.

cheers.

G'day Richard - I got an e-mail from Rovacraft this morning (amazing how a few negative comments about Britparts on this forum elicits a quick response) - I answered them straight away and am now awaiting an answer re cost - it'll be interesting to compare with buying from the U.K. - I'll let you know the outcome.
cheers

Well.... I sent my e-mail inquiry to Roavcraft (in answer to their introductory e-mail as the local supplier) as to the price of the IID Tool at 9:32 this morning and as yet have received no reply ... ah well a few more of my dollars will be off to the U.K. tonight ... and local retailers wonder why we buy stuff overseas !!!!

My Faultmate got held up in the Post Office in Cyprus for a couple of days so have not yet received it as yet - has been cleared in Sydney so should get it Monday or Tuesday.

As a result I have not been able to codes that have caused my check engine light to come on. Initially the car still ran fine but two days ago while driving there was no response from the throttle for about 5 seconds at a stop sign then drove off all OK (this is not the usual pregnant pause that these cars have).

Last night started the car - put it into reverse and the car started rolling down the hill - engine was on at idle but no response from the throttle - after about 10 secs all was OK and car drove fine.

Today - started and the idle was very lumpy (normally very smooth) and again throttle response was negligible - revs did rise from idle to about 950 but no more. After about 10secs lumpiness was gone, full throttle was available and car drives fine. The car is not in limp mode.

I appreciate I need to have the codes read - monday or tues but any advise on what might be going on would be appreciated.

Cheers

Anyone know which code readers work on 2010 model TDV8 Sport? I see the IID unit does not. Figure something like this may be pretty handy if out of town.

For the 2010 models, Faultmate FCR (smaller unit) or MSV2 (full editing capabilities) are probably the best two for the individual owner. Consider the Autologic if you have multiple vehicles (not cheap though!).

Cheers,

Thanks. Car has been at dealers now for 3 days. At least they picked it up, and will deliver it back. Still working on why battery goes flat. They are replacing upper tailgate switch as per forum/my request. Alternator tests fine. Lucky I am away and don't need it! In total it has been at a dealers now for nearly two weeks trying to find the fault.
