Diagnostic car test tool

Post by X5Andym » Sat Aug 04, 2018 10:30 am

Hi All

I have a unwell E53 4.4,  O:-)which I think has a fault with the MAF sensor, which diagnostic checker should I purchase, also is there a link or a list of error codes..

Thank you very much :)

Cheers

How good is the app and adaptor? - Is it full diagnostic kit? or similar to the cheap OBD readers like torque?

For an E53 I’d be using INPA from here, Jimmy’s stuff is great and works spot on.

Looking at £25 for a cable and software.

If you have a suspected MAF problem...start it up and unplug the MAF whilst its running if no change in engine tone your MAF is suspect.....
