Hi all,
as I have a CEL, with a car that starts but does not want to run over 1500rpm (does not react to pedal) , I am very anxious to see what causes it.
I strongly suspect the TB as it was behaving badly before (pedal pot has been changed for contactless recently so that should be fine), but before I part with 1500 euro for another throttle body (my present one is already made contactless so can't send that one away for revision), I want to check if it is not some other issue. So I need to read the codes.
But as I have a 2000 year car (series 1.5 ), with 16 pin OBD (not OBD2!!), I can't get my 3 readers (even an Autel of 125 euro) to connect to it.
I read the UniDiag software is the one to go for, but all those postings are from at least 6 years ago, and when I google UniDiag, nothing recent turns up.
So is UniDiag still available, or is there a new alternative? Or any other ideas to retrieve the codes from this intermediate model?
Can I tap into the wires to the connector, feed them into my 3 pin connector that adapts again into 16 and into my reader? But which wires...
My other option is to have the car picked up at my house to have it picked up and brought on a flatbed to one of the 2 specialists in the whole country (Netherlands), and that is what I am trying to avoid as you might understand...
