Re: how to reset stilo ecu

a fault code reader is well worth the money.. i paid £80 for my second one, and its paid for itself already, your talking 30 quid just for a diag test anyway.. whatever i would recommend getting one.. as i admit that stilos can kick off even if something isnt really at fault...

Re: how to reset stilo ecu

where would the best place be to pick one up and i it really as simple as just plugging it into the diagnostic plug read the code and finding what that code is relavant to? also does it need to be a fiat one or can a universal one be bought? cheers forthe help
