I was looking at the Lexia 3 Citroen Peugeot Diagnostic Car scan tool. This one seems to be one of the best to go for?
I was thinking it might be handy to have for my 306 hdi. It would be cheaper and save time than paying for the garage or changing diffrent parts etc.

Very useful tool. I love mine. Look in the guides section. I'm currently writing a guide on how to use it.

Thanks sounds like a tool worth having then.
I paid 100 delivered for mine and I've used it on several cars. Not much to play with on the 306 except for programming keys, alarms, new ecus ect but on other cars like 206s, 307s it's very helpful!
The live data read out is also extremely good as it gives it to you in the raw values instead of dressing it up as other crap like most readers do.

Yep. Gives out voltages from sensors, injection timings ect. Useful if you know what your looking at but a quick 5 minute google explains most of it in basic detail.

I got mine from amazon. Seller was very helpful with getting the software set up (wasn't the quickest delivery though)

Just recieved my Lexia 3 and software. The software is called DiagBox and says it does citroen as well as Peugeot, the Peugeot software is Peugeot Planet [aka PP2000] and gives a choice of most cars they made and make that are likely to be on the road and have some level of diagnostic. I've only used on a Phase 3 306 but noticed 205's, 309's, 406's listed. It does read all ECU's in the car and even attempted to read the auto ecu which my car doesn't have what with being a manual. It accuratly reads stored and current faults from what I tested, and even resets the ABS ecu.
Its a little tricky to setup and being given the wrong logon code didn't help, but a quick search found the right code.
In short I would highly recommend getting one of these, it was very worth it for me.

Hi, all
Has anyone got a user guide or put one together for using these Lexia3 packages sold on ebay?
