Fault code reader

Post by bazbug »

Hi All...I hope somebody can help here....I have a problem with my 99 Corsa Envoy 1.2 16V....I borrowed a U480 code reader from a mate...but I keep getting a "linking error" message...I assume it's not compliant with my model of Corsa..does anybody know what kind of code reader I can buy that is compliant with my Corsa.

Thanks

Baz

Local garage will do it for £25...you can get an Opcom (I think that's what it's called off ebay) for around £30 with the software, but that's from China or Hong Kong...I don't think it's worth the risk of losing your money for something that might not work, lol.

i tried one and it didnt work, got my money back, and still got it somewhere
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
