Here are the main diagnostic tools that we currently own:
Snap On Solus Pro
An independent tool that covers a wide range of popular makes and models. This tool is very portable and has a data record function so that it can record live data from the engine sensors whilst being driven on the road. This can then be downloaded and viewed on a PC
This is also an independent tool. The KTS is a laptop based programme with an interface unit that we have mounted in a camera style case. The main advantages of the Bosch over the Solus, is that the viewing screen is much larger, on some systems its coverage is better and also it has an inbuilt data/reference section
Tech2
This is (currently) our only dealer tool. The Tech2 is exactly the same tool as used by Saab and Vauxhall main agents. Handheld, it is very portable and enables us to talk to all modules / systems on compatible vehicles. (Vectra "C" and Insignia now use a tool called MDI)
VCDS (was known as Vag Com)
Another independent, laptop based tool. This piece of equipment is solely used for VW group cars (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and Seat) and is very close to a main agent tool
Pico ScopeLike the KTS, this is laptop based and mounted in a dedicated case. The Pico is not a scan tool. That is to say it does not communicate with vehicles modules to retrieve data and fault codes. The Pico Scope is an oscilloscope that enables us to "look" at virtually any voltage or amps usage on a circuit
Smoke ProThis piece of equipment is a great tool for diagnosing air leaks in exhaust systems, vacuum lines, manifolds and breather pipes. Due to the complexity of most modern inlet manifolds, finding a poorly fitting gasket or crack would be nearly impossible without a smoke machine
