Newage ecu reader help....
 

My newage MY04 wrx wagon has thrown up the orange engine warning light today, as i plan on keeping it for a while i'd like to invest in a code reader for it. So, what are people using? Recommending? I only need something basic to read the codes so i can go from there. Shame they are not as easy to read as my classic :wonder:

Elm 327 cable from ebay and a copy of something like proscan will do grand. I have one of them as well as my tactrix cable and it works fine with the copy of proscan that came with it.

you can buy bluetooth ones off ebay and do it through your mobile ;)

I use one of these, no problems with it after nearly 3 years.:thumb:

Cheers guys.

I have a reader you can borrow if you live anywhere near me !!! And it's free as your a fellow scoobynetter :-)

Since I bought it I used it once ,but word got about so now I charge £10 a time ,cheaper than a garage lol

That's very kind of you mate but i'm in Oxford, so a little too far. Thank you all the same.

Where about's is the port in the car?

The OBD port is underneath the steering column. Just stick her head down near the pedals and you'll see it.

I got it, cheers.

I use a scangauge...not the cheapest but reads the ECU codes temps, revs, mph etc :)

I use a Scangauge II too

I heard a rumour that the scan gauge only works on uk cars and not jdm, can anyone confirm this as was thinking of one myself but if it doesn't work with a 2005 jdm then I will be wasting my money.
As for reading codes I have a tactrix cable and can read them with that no problem. But again not the cheapest option, but I can run logs in romraider as well.

Anyone used this ECU reader?

A warning light has just popped up on the dash of my 06 WRX hawk :-(

Any help or other options would be very much appreciated!

eek 23 quid?
Do you have a laptop or smartphone? You can buy much cheaper variants that will come with the appropriate software or you can download the app for a couple of quid (ie torque)

£23 quid is annoying but I was thinking it would be easier than battling with software?
Also I only use apple and i'm new to ECU fiddling. I don't mind spending the money on one of these devises as long as it gives me the fault code or codes. I figure its cheaper that going to a garage?

Thanks Tom

You can get a wifi ODB2 reader instead of Bluetooth if you're an Apple user. For the first time I had an engine check code and used my cheap £7 ODB2 reader with the free version of Torque to read the code, fix the issue and clear the code.

Same one here cheaper.

I paid a bit less,needed one for the missus crappy Citroen but works a treat

Thanks a lot for the help everyone that's great :-)

Got that one above ^^^

Now just to wait for the postman! Hopefully there wont be something horribly wrong with my Scoob!

Cheers Tom

i use one of these with the fone app:

used it on most of the cars at the office with no hassles as well. handy for knocking out codes or checking things over.
