    Default Going to look at a VXII clubby R8 what to look for??

    As the title suggests, anything break easy or are common for this type?
    Also does the VX series have a engine DTC light like the VR`s do?, what does it look like?

    What about the DTC engine fault light, plus is there anyway to read faults without software with this series paperclip work etc..

    you need a tech 2 or some type of code reader to find fault codes
    yes they do have a engine warning light
    it is in the temp gauge
    it is a pic of a engine with a lighting bolt through it
    things i would look for is
    *rear main seal leak and sump
    *if auto slipping box
    *in a manual clutch slip
    *strut tops & caster bushes
    cheers GM
