It has High Pressure Pump Replacement procedure in the list of activation procedures for the Visteon CF4 2.2 engine ECU, so at a guess yes.

I have a cheap ELM clone that works fine with the A CAN connections, but for B CAN I use an OBDkey with the yellow adapter cable as the ELM clone doesn't respond. You might be able to fix that by removing a resistor in the ELM dongle as explained on the MES website, otherwise yes you are looking at OBDlink, OBDkey or similar.
To be honest though for the price you will have diagnostic software that in some respects is more capable than MES and can also do some things that main dealers either can't do or don't know how!
It appears from posts on some other forums that the developer is also very supportive in adding feature requests and resolving issues if any arise.
Thanks i will purchase and obdlink LX when i have got my head around it.
will that bluetooth plug in do all the functions in the paid for app?
but ive just downloaded the ALFAOBD demo app and its asking for login with key code. Sorry to keep asking but i want to get this right . What does that actually mean? I have a cheap elm327 plug in that i was going to mess with. It connects but does nothing in demo

As long as you have a compatible interface and adapter cable (if necessary, which I think it may not be with some of the OBDlink dongles) all features will be available in the full version.
Login with code is only necessary to unlock specific security related programming functions. It is shown as an option for connecting to ECUs that require it to unlock those functions, but for normal use you just bypass it by clicking Connect.
It's explained in the help file (click the Help button in the app or download it from the website).
If your ELM dongle connects, you should see the app report that is connected when you attempt to connect to an ECU. You can then read the ECU info or scan for errors and monitor a limited number of functions, but you need the full version to enable unrestricted monitoring and programming. Again, it's all explained under the Help button.
Ahh i understand it now . Last question you mentioned you need an adapter for Can B. What things does CAN B operate when your in the menu. Im basically just wanting to do the Fuel pressure Relearn and chuck it in the glove box for a rainy day. Im hoping that i can do that by just getting the paid for App and the OBDLINK LX
I have a 2008 ducato 2.2 100bhp and am going to order a ObdlinkMX+ tonight and download the alfaobd paid for app. Can you tell me if it will connect and operate the fuel pump pressure relearn as i dont know how to find out your help so far has been great. If it can do that atleast its been worth the money

If you can connect to the engine ECU and read/scan with your existing ELM connector, you probably won't need the OBDlink to do what you want. I've just looked at the menus for the X250 with Puma 2.2 engine and it looks like you only need an additional adapter for ABS and PAS ECUs.
Select Ducato X250 in the app, then Engine, and the Visteon 2.2 ECU, then connect. Select active procedures by clicking the icon of the car with an open bonnet at the bottom of the screen, and you can then view the list of actuations and programming options in the drop down menu. Pump replacement is listed along with pilot injection reset and relearn.
I've never used them but they are listed and I can only say that everything I've used AlfaOBD for has worked as intended.
