Anyone with a Lexia?
Hello All,
I'm pretty desperate to get our Picasso running again.
A garage has looked at the car and their diagnosis is a potential EGR fault. I doubt a Lexia machine was used to diagnose.
The engine runs well but will barely advance when the throttle is depressed. After swapping a badly corroded EGR electrovalve, the problem is not resolved but has changed. Now the engine idles high and accelerates without activating the throttle - which is fun. Depressing the throttle does nothing to the engine revs.
I can't rule out faults with the various sensors including the MAF and I guess the EGR valve could be jammed open. I just don't know so, Is there anyone near Tring with a Lexia?
Cheers
Lawrence

Re: Anyone with a Lexia?
Lawrence, I'm down in Twyford near Reading and could probably run up in the daytime on Thursday or Friday (possibly Tuesday) and scan it for you - If i can get the software working on my new laptop. I have the Lexia and CD, but need an XP machine or VM to install it on.

Re: Anyone with a Lexia?
Thanks a lot Mike,
I have a new lap top running windows 8 but it has no CD driver.......
I'm also at work of course which will throw a spanner in the works. If you get the software working let me know but I think it will have to be an evening which might not work for you.
So grateful for the offer, let me know what you think.
Cheers

Re: Anyone with a Lexia?
Oh, I'll get it running. This week it's tricky for me to do it in the evening as the missus is away until Saturday evening and I'm looking after our 4 year old, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem at all. I'm sure we can sort something out.

Re: Anyone with a Lexia?
Mike, if push came to shove I have an external USB DVD drive if it would help.

Re: Anyone with a Lexia?
It's not that James, I traded my little netbook in (as the wife needed a decent sized machine for her eyes, and for job hunting), and this one is a new Tosh Satellite Pro with 64-bit Windows 8 on it (and what a bizarre OS it is!), so I've lost my Lexia machine - it was ideal for it. I'll have to install Virtualbox on here and run XP on a VM from that.Hell Razor5543 wrote:Mike, if push came to shove I have an external USB DVD drive if it would help.
DO you have a Torx 50 bit? :-p

Re: Anyone with a Lexia?
Possibly. I'll check my toolkit tomorrow, when it's light.
Will an VM machine run truly in 32bit on a 64bit system?

Tis only a cheeky request Sir, to save me buying something I will use precisely once.Hell Razor5543 wrote:Possibly. I'll check my toolkit tomorrow, when it's light.

Yes, it will. I used to run Virtualbox with 32 bit WinXP in a VM and use Lexia on my older Dell PC which gave up the ghost back in September.

I need to learn this language guys!
Let me know when you can make it Mike, sure I've got a torx 50 bit : )

Re: Anyone with a Lexia?
Sorry, Lawrence! Mike has just got a V6 Xantia with an airbag/horn issue, and the probable way to fix them is to replace the slip ring that is designed to prevent the cables from twisting and shearing. However, a Torx 50 bolt holds the steering wheel on.
