Greetings
As per header, my Volvo v40 2002 1.8se engine light has come. Car drives fine, and looking at the manual, it appears that the light comes on mainly if there are emission problems.
Anyway I rang my local dealership and they tell me that just to hook it up to their computer will cost £75 (exc vat), and then on top of that any other work will be charged at £60 per hour excluding parts.
Basically they are cnuts, and it seems to be a total rip off, being that they're saying that only they can fix the problem.
My question is should I buy one of those code readers, diagnose the problem my self, and then fix it myself, if it's straight forward enough, and then reset the light with the reader/reseter gizmo, ie do they work?
Or alternatively find the fault with the reader, and then get local garage to fix it?
I've done a search and can pick one up for £40, it's a Ganden, if that means anything.
Any other suggestions,
Cheers
Jon
