Code reader and Fault Code Scanners

[Scots_Charles_River]

Been having an Intermittent ECU Light and fault. Bought a wee bluetooth compatible scanner for £6 and connected with free Android apps to my phone and all sorts of data and then fault codes appear, and can be reset.

Just a heads up to avoid getting ripped off for £75 at a garage.

£75 is way too much, i only charge £25 and that includes half hours diagnosis and fiddling time. these things can be good as long as you understand what they are telling you

206 1.4 petrol. It's a faulty/failing Injector on Cyl 1.

could well be the injector, could also be the coil pack though. what are the symptoms?

Drives perfect then after 10mins or when temp hits ~80degs, it's misfirng/juddering then it clears then erratic.

Sounds like the coil pack breaking down

Coil packs fine - hope. Plugs all fine. Hopefully it's not and it's just the injector.
