Anyone have/use a Bosch 1100 or 1300 scanner for their R56? They are OBDII + CAN; from their literature/manual I can not determine if I need additional software - I'll look in to that some more.
Asking because they are available for purchase locally and I would like to solve my prob. here ASAP instead of the headache of taking it to the shop.
R56 2007 Justa - tries to stumble at idle but straightens out with a tap on the gas and stays steady at 700 RPM.
March/2016 crankshaft seal replaced, cooling tube, water pump replaced
Nov./2016 both Vanos solenoids replaced, timing chain done, new oil pan and valve cover gaskets.
Ok, thanks. I'm finding out there are quite a lot of scanners, software, and opinions as to which is best. Difficult choice.
I'm now leaning toward just getting a 40.00 cable and downloading the INPA software.
Our MIni independent shop here is good but a longish haul from our house - I don't want to rearrange our schedules and make a big production every time an O2 sensor goes bad or a vacuum leak pops up.
126,000 now - major repairs dealt with - hopefully most issues that come up in the near future I will be able to fix here in the garage.
