Does the Galletto work on petrol models?

The listings only mention diesel Citroens however they do mention the Peugeot 407 2.0 16V, which had the same EW10 J4 as my Citroen C5 SX...

I don't know for sure with petrol models.
Do you have a "tuning chip", or something, since you want to use galetto?

No I want to dump my ECU to have a look at the map. I'm a motorsport engineering student so this is something I need to learn how to do :)

I have a couple of "optimized" maps for a HDi, if you wan't to investigate them :D

I have a Galetto (clone) my self - And I have some Xantia's that i pick parts from, can try read them out. If it fryes a ECU, no harm done :)
Have a 1,8i 16V and a 2,0i 16V

Send me a PM or email, and i'll mail you the dumps. :)

What i meant was, it is better that i (maybe) ruin a ECU for testing. My cars are for parts anyway.
If the Galetto-clone can read my Xantia's, then i guess it will read most petrol models.

From what I can gather through my own research, the Galletto can dump the Magneti Marelli ECU type which my C5 2.0 petrol has a Marelli 29F400 PSOP ECU.
I would love confirmation that it can do it. Might end up buying a cable to give it a go myself.

I've been testing on my Xantia - No communication :?

When you open the software, the is a list of applications. It should work with the "new" EW 2,0 16V.
It is possible to use the software without the tool connected - Download, and take a look of applications; http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6429978/Others/ ... o_1260.zip" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Just for an update, tools that can dump the Marelli ECU in the 2 litre petrol C5 include the MPPS v12 and the MagPro2 but definitely not the Galletto or KWP2000+ (i.e. the cheap tools)
MPPS v12 is on my Christmas list :)
