Is there a specific type of diagnostic tool you need for the fiat punto active grande 07 plate? Just tried a MEMOSCAN CAN OD2 U480 and it keeps coming up with 'LINKING ERROR'

hi, and welcome to FF,

all cars after 2004 are OBD2 - however that's just for ENGINE..,
what are you trying to do..??

lots on here use TORQUE or MultiECUScan

Hi, thanks!

Ive got an engine warning light on and I'm trying to check the code to find out what's wrong, been having trouble starting the car for a while now also.

Cheers,
Ben

This is what my DLC looks like if this helps...

Did you get any joy Benny?

I too have a cheap U480 maxiscan tool of ebay which works great with Pug 308 and Alfa Gt but gives linking error on the Fiat GP.

that's standard,

IF you are near Oxford, PM me.
or maybe go to the Brooklands show where the forum have a MultiECUSCan stand

I recommend Multiecuscan. If you are near Cambridge I can run a scan for you.

Just order a simple ELM 327 from china.
Bluetooth or wifi.
Use torque on your phone or tablet
Wifi for ios, bluetooth for android.
The best and easiest way to diagnose.

Hi,
I do not think that Torque and Bluetooth (or Wi-Fi) interface is the "best" way by a long shot. For starters Torque is not primarailly a diagnostic tool. Second it's not Fiat specific, third wireless connnections can be unreliable.
An ELM 327 USB interface and Multiecuscn is far superior (AlfaOBD is another option) and arguably the best solution for Fiats.
