welcome everybody I am new and please help. I purchased the lexia3 7.83 from AliExpress and installed the supplied software on the CD. And I have a problem that the program does not respond to the electronic control unit. The program works well on other systems such as the transmission and airbags. . When entering the ECU it gives me this...

Hi all,

Thinking of investing in this software as I have a Windows 10 laptop.

You can basically buy a licence for 30 euros. A licence covering a manufacturer.

Does anyone on here have it and if so, what’s your experience of it?

Thanks

I was wondering if it might be worth my while buying a copy of this service box from Jim at ED.

It says 3 CDs, which I doubt.
Not as bomb proof as now having to ask this forum to look up part nos. but that's a pain for all, especially for every silly thing.

One thing I've been meaning to ask as I have been using the Lexia a lot is this:-

When you erase fault codes it tells you that you have upto 50 reads of an ECU.

My after sales counter on the HDi is now on read 30.

What happens when I get to 50? Is it possible to reset it somehow?

PLEASE don't tell me it'll mean a complete uninstall and...

Could somebody please tell me which firmware version is needed for Diagbox v7.83. Will version 4.3.3 still be ok? Marc's post on the subject only goes up to v7.76. I have a new RevC kit and may have to flash it.
Thanks

I serviced it fettled it, brought the wheels to get new tyres booked the NCT (MOT) etc then I was messing with it and decided to cut the grass. Put the key in my pocket and on the return mow I shredded the key. I found everything but the chip and battery. Mobile...

After much nashing of teeth etc got a laptop running with xp pro to run diagbox.

All previous global tests have been the same but I just thought it was me with electronics :rofl2:

Specifically, what cheap hardware/software will work with my cars?

First thoughts was diagbox...

Hi All,

My diagbox is not communicating properly with the car again.

It loads up and when I choose the correct model it finds the VIN but when I carry out a Globe test it states no dialogue.

It has been working previously but it's getting very frustrating.

Thoughts please,

I will be speaking to Jim at Easy Diagnostics tomorrow.

Dear team,
Yesterday, I accidentally dropped my OBD scanner through the hole below the OBD scanner port. It landed near the gearbox lever which I can see. I tried to put my hand inside but I can't pass through. Please advise me what to remove to take it back?? I removed some of the parts from the gear panel. still, I'm not sure what else to...

This is a repeat topic as the original appears to have gone missing in the glitch over the weekend. I am hoping someone could turn off my tyre monitor for me as the car has had 2 sensors removed by the previous owner and the alarm is not only irritating but it may have the cry wolf effect and mask a real issue should one occur. I have pm'd some...

I am frantic to move an 806, outside my Easter host's address in Southampton.

There has been a chattering noise, isolated to a relay situated next to the EMU.

Local resources are unhelpful/unavailable on necessary time scales.

Suggestions include checking fuses and earth connections, and finding specialist advice on the EMU function.

I wonder...

My current car is a Citroen C5 X7 1.6 HDi estate, 2010, 80000 miles

last week whilst driving I had a sudden lost of power and the car went into limp mode, a small hole was found in the turbo intercooler pipe which had been caused by the dip stick rubbing against it. Pipe has been fixed and the following codes reset
P1162
P0489
P0409
P0104
P0113...

My car is 2009 model Peugeot 308 petrol. It shows Depollution system faulty warning msgs sometime during the engine start and engine goes to limp mode along with Engine system light ON. What I do is, I use the OBD scanner and clear the faulty code and drive off the vehicle. Is there any problem in doing so??

Good evening all,

Just a quick question (hopefully).
I need to replace the brake fluid on my C4 Pic Exclusive 2014, is there any specific sequence/requirements/instruction or even tooling that is required to do this.

Many Thanks
Zane

Good evening.

My 2009 C5 X7 will not release the electric parking brake, bleeping and displaying various messages, 'anti roll back faulty' , 'Handbrake faulty', 'hand brake not applied' etc.
I have diagbox but get the message 'no communication with the ecu' under secondary parking brake.
Does anyone have suggestions as to what to try next?
Thanks...

Hi guys not sure which to get, Can you help don't want diags just yet. But have a Haynes and i think there could be something better.

So I was thinking Emanualonline or Service Box from Easy diagnostics..

Any tips greatly appreciated.

Today I fitted a new DPF to my 2012 Citroen Berlingo van. It was showing 100% cinder value and the maximum amount of Eolys had passed through it.
I cannot for the life of me find out where in Diagbox you tell it you've fitted a new one.
I have programmed in zero for the amount of Eoly fluid injected in, but it's showing 73% cinders and the mileage...

On the new one I have installed win7 x86 and the...

Dear colleagues,

Today I have looked at diagbox dpf parameters and there is something strange.What means Average mileage for 5 last regeneration manoeuvers - 123km Is that mean that car doing regeneration every 120km?Is that mean its cloged or?

We're back in the UK and I now have time to work on the 308's misfire but before that I need to decide what to do about my Diagbox version.

At present I'm on 7.57 which seems to be fine for my 2013 X7 but a little lacking for our 2015 308. It reads most things on the 308 but has to be prompted for ECUs it doesn't natively recognise. I therefore...
