easy setup for ista/d

fooledyas · 08-28-2016, 06:39 PM

car down with service engine soon light codes either eccentric sensor or valvetronic motor . I need to test the motor (don't want to do valve cover gasket for nothing). did some coding some years ago it was a pita to set up. I need an easy to setup diagnostic program. free is best but am willing to pay. I hAVE looked at ista/d rheingold, ebay setup laptops , setup hard-drives and paid downloads. if someone could recommend a path to simple functional diagnostic program that's fairly priced. thanks

Buy a K+DCAN cable and then download ISTA /D also known as Rheingold or ISTA+

The software is freely available via google.

Search my previous posts Buddy. There's a guide in one of those. I'm on the app so can't link.
