    Post Diagnostics tool

    Just wondering if there was anyone in the western suburbs of melbourne that wouldnt mind helping me out, I got some problems with my car and thinking it might be electrical I just wanted to see what error codes it would come up with so I can fix it ASAP.

    Or if anyone is selling Diagnostic tool for a 98 VT berlina. Does anyone know where I could buy one maybe too & know a good one to buy for my car?

    Thanks Heaps

    Jaycar OBDII scanners wont work for two reasons 1)The V6 VT runs OBD1 and 2) even if it was the GENIII which runs OBDII the fault codes retrieval protocol is nonstandard for the commodores.

    Your best bet is the paperclip.
