How much would I expect to pay for reading the fault code and resetting the CEL on a MY02 WRX? Dealer or independent?

 

BTT, anyone?

 

IIRC It's around £55 inc VAT at a stealer

 

last time i needed mine checking i paid about £30 but that was on a classic and an independent
Scoobypedia | Trusted knowledge for everything Subaru | Scoobypedia browse has some info on reading fault codes on newage imprezas.

 

Excuse my ignorance I'm fairly new on here but was does CEL stand for?

 

yeah about £50

 

jubhi it means Check Engine Light

Knowlsey did it for free for me I chucked him a few beer vouchers

I will do it for free mate I have a code reader

I am in Oldham, A dealer would want at least an hour +vat say £75 or so.

 

Alternatively i am getting another batch of OBD (On Board Diagnostic) readers in very soon. The last 8 i ordered went very quickly !!

The are a USB device which plugs into the USB port of a laptop or other PC. With suitabole software you can read ALL of the data coming off of the OBD port of your Subaru. Depending what software you use, some have 0-60 timings, simulated Dyno runs etc etc. More importanantly it allows for the reading and clearing of a CEL on most makes of vehicle built after 2001, not just Subarus.

They are £75 for each device with all required leads etc. So in effect pay for one of these once and that is the same as a main dealer would charge for doing the reset for you and with them you don't get to keep the equipment afterwards for next time!!

For further details please contact me direct.

 

I've read this thread and will be in touch.
