Technical 1.9 Multijet 16V obd2 ?

[Chris parry]

Can anyone tell me if the Bravo 2 (2007) 1.9 Multijet 16V is obd2 compliant?
I mean can I use one of the generic Chinese obd readers to see any fault codes?

Sorry if silly question but used to petrol engines or VERY old diesels
Thanks

You should be able to read the basic OBD error codes using a simple code reader.
However if you intend keeping the vehicle I would invest in a one of the maker specific tools, such as MES which many on Forum use and can help with or Maxie ecu scan tool that I use which has the advantage that you can buy extra manufacturer support . They both require a Windows OS laptop etc.
Either of these give a lot more capabilities than a simple scan tool.
If you look online a company called Gendan is very helpful and you can check before purchase if it suits your needs.

Excellent thanks
I have MES and an old win7 laptop with vag cable in the shed (from my old 176 punto) just wanted a pocket setup while I check over my daughters car

Some Scan tools may prefer Win 10 or later, so check before purchase.
