Best diagnostic software and where to buy.

Unread post by notmeatall2 »

This has probably been asked a million times already but I will ask again. (I did search but my head exploded sorry :( )

Which is the best diagnostic tool /software for both a 2015 308SW 2.0L Allure Blue S/S and a 2015 Expert Tepee Comfort HDI 2.0L.

We have an old interface (unsure of version but it worked on a 407) and tried to download a copy of DIAGBOX 9.85 (for £10 on Ebay) but it came up needing a serial.

Any Advice would be greatly appreciated especially if you can point me at a link of where to buy one. :)

Many thanks [-o<

Your vehicles are on the cusp of being incompatible with earlier version of Diagbox 7, so I would advise you going for V9.**. Version 9 is generally needed for most PSA vehicles from 2015 onwards, as even though some will work with a later version of DB 7, the later hardware won't in many cases, so best to stick with V9.** that will work with both later and earlier vehicles.

But beware of sellers flogging version on the web for cash. The software is generally available from reputable sellers from whom you would buy the interface from.

Make sure you have a full chip interface too.

Easy diagnostic is somewhat recommend by members here. You can find readers on eBay but no guarantee they will work or be fully complete with the correct chips etc. I got mine from here it works for me but no guarantee. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224984619661 ... SwgB1kJZ5F
