C5 in limp home mode. 2.0. 8 valve Hdi.

Unread post by Peter.N. »

Its happened at last and my Lexia doesn't work. The engine light came on a few days ago but I didn't take much notice of it as the car was going OK, tonight I tried to push it a bit up the Axminster bypass and it stopped pulling at something under 3000 rpm, it doesn't really matter as I very rarely push the revs up that far and it performs quite adequately otherwise. Are there any likely causes or do I need to try and get my Lexia going.

Might be an idea to try getting the Lexia working.

I'd suggest piggy back the Lexia issue onto the end of the following thread, as most of those who are actively involved with Lexia software monitor it:

http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... &start=150" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Post details including version of Windows (including 32 or 64 bit) which version of Diagbox/Lexia you were supplied with and/or are currently trying to use, where you got your interface, and what error messages you might be seeing, and I'm sure we can help you out :) I have some direct download links for the latest version of Diagbox/Lexia that I can post in the other thread, but some idea of what you have now would be a good start.
