Topping up eolys tank?

Unread post by waynedance »

Like to keep on top of things, car done 82k and the eolys tank was last topped up according to the history at approx 50k.

I know it lasts approx 50k but I like to get things done in advance and not wait till the car warns me, looking to do it before 90k.

So is this something I can do myself?
Can I use a Launch Smartbox or Snapon diagnostic tool to reset the counter?

Thank you.

Topping up can be done yourself but beware its highly poisonous stuff so wear appropriate protective gear. It will need a Lexia to reset though.

Doh!!! need to find a Lexia.

What can be done with these Lexia machines that are from ebay for around £100?

A lot of members have bought these Chinese knock offs, most report they work perfectly ok.

The knocks off do work very well, you wont find anything better than one, unless your lucky enough to find an original and want to part with many pounds to get one :lol:

Alternatively, you could see if anyone with a Lexia is local to you. There is a map on here somewhere with Lexia locations.
