Diagnostics

[Keith Walker <100662.3423@domain.elided>]

>>Maybe that's wrong.  But the result is that the
cars work better and the economic benefit is that it is not easy or perhaps

possible for a lot of independent garages to work on newer cars because of
the specialized knowledge and costly equipment needed, which results in a
healthier stream of secondary income from dealer service bays and parts
departments.<<

No, that is US OBD / OBD2 rules, which do not apply in Europe. They
have recently mandated a common socket for diagnostics, but no
common standard for how that socket communicates

This is all part of the reason that we in the UK get ripped off for
cars and servicing. Take it outside the dealer network to someone
who actually bothers to do the job properly and the warrenty is
invalidated.

All the best
