Hi,

I recently installed chinese android head unit. Everything works fine, but my battery is leaking when the car is turned off. The problem is probably related to the canbus network and communication, it is not a problem with the drain of head unit power supply. The battery leaks as soon as the OEM radio is removed. Is there a possibility to...

Good morning,
what is difference between these two devices?
I'm asking about original device.
a1281z is still for sale via PSA delaer.
Will an older device with a number 9780.z5 connect to PSA/Opel cars from ~2019-2022? Does this device work with a servicebox?
Thanks '

I will try to adjust the height of my CrossTourer via Diagbox, but when I try to follow instructions here in the forum (by GiveMeABreak) I struggle to find where in the menues I can find it.

I've got a Citroën C4 Grand Picasso which appears to be running fine but the engine warning and service lights are on and the diagnostics report flags up fault codes P1032, P1033, P1038 and P1039. The Citroën dealership says the only thing to do is replace the engine, which isn't worth it for a 16 reg. A local garage suggested replacing the spark...

Hello!
This is my first post here. I've got my very first french car, a Citroen Xsara Picasso 2001, 2.0 HDi. I really like it. I need a diagnostic tool for this car... I have an OBD2 compatible ELM device, but it seems it is not connecting to the car, as none of the protocols is working with this Xsara.

I think that a Full Chip Lexia 3 should be...

I see there is a lot about the reading wiring diagrams, what the symbols mean etc. but I can't see the diagrams themselves. Is there a way of accessing the actual diagrams? I seem to remember paying a small additional fee for specialist information in the past. Is that still the case?

Hi, a few days ago I purchased a 2019 Peugeot Expert (similar to Jumpy, Vivaro, Proace, etc.). The car had been sitting on a lot for several months with a weak battery.

Howdy,

I’m, lightly put, a novice when it comes to mechanics, so I could use some advice. Do...
