EOBD, standard on all cars sold in Europe since 1993, is explained in detail, you can see how codes are made and what are the most likely [and cheapest] solutions.
Our team of friendly mechanics give you advice on buying equipment, what to wear when working on a car, and other safety tips, before introducing you to key components of Engine Management .
