Diagnostic Software for C5 diesel 2003

Post by maurice »

Hi,
I'm new to this forum so please could anyone help me with my problem.
I have just bought a second hand C5 diesel 2003 and after a couple of days the service light and spanner and engine management light have come on.
I have a friend with a diagnostic computer but he doesn't have the appropriate software to manage these codes. I am told that the software is only available from Citroen garages - I don't know how true this is. Does any member have software or know where it can be downloaded for free or minimal cost? Prices quoted on internet have been in the region of £250!!!!
Any help would be gratefully appreciated as I am new to Citroens.
Cheers
Maurice

Depending on where you live you may be able to persuade one of our members to read the codes for you, see here.
