  • ThinkDiag Reviews

    I have had some good reviews but i thought it would be best to create a thread for users to share there thoughts and post reviews on the Thinking device.

    On the 20/06/2020 i will be giving away a £50 Halfords voucher to someone who reviews the device here this will either be selected at random by myself or i may ask an admin to make the decision for me who wins but i will make sure this is done fairly.The reviews i only ask that they are honest and i hope the £50 incentive would help get some detailed reviews on here. The incentive is only open to people who have purchased the device as i don't believe a fair review can be left by anyone who does not own it.

    Will do a full review when I get a bit more time, but thought I'd give it a quick go on my Astra H.

    It seems to have a few issues at the moment and I thought I'd see what ThinkDiag thought was wrong.

    Really not sure I'm going to be able to get this one running again looks a lost cause to me.






























































    But then this is my "Astra in a Box" I made to learn decoding and retrofits all those years ago

        Had a good play today on both mine and the wife's Corsa.Both cars had no faults which I knew,but on mine it did find a minor fault with the radio,even though it was working ok,anyway cleared it,tested a number of things on the Insignia,cooling fans,relays,air flaps ,air con,heater warning lights,dimming mirror,auto main beam and the oil press.switch,oil level switch,then the passenger seat belt warning light.Still finding my way around this tool,but I'm very impressed with what it can do over other diagnostic ones.Will keep posting on this thread as I find my way around it.

            Howy and exclusiv. My service AFL warning getting really annoying now. Could you look to see what the app shows on AFL please. My code relates to auto levelling and points to a sensor. There are 3 sensors in question.
            It's so hit and miss, can be weeks without showing or come on 20 times in 5 minutes. Seems to be related to speed, temp, hills and distance .
            Wondered if app had learning stuff needed to reset the AFL system.

                  Yes was very tempted anyway. I know the sensors are a few hundred each from what I have seen, so if just a reset could fix it then maybe. Thanks for looking. [emoji106]

                          OK unit arrived. Easy to set up, software chosen, updated straight away.
                          Nothing hard about using this unit.

                          Quickly looked at various options, but I was wanting to see what was possible with AFL. Turns out quite a lot. Test all motors, bulbs, lighting scenarios etc etc. Can also reset auto levelling which il be trying tomorrow.

                          Also looked at DPF, this software is capable of doing a forced regen.

                          Stop start system also quite good, can actually start and stop engine at touch of the screen. Also shows you what criteria has not been met. No surprise to me, mine said low battery. 50% capacity, 85% life. Can also relearn settings etc.

                          Lots of other stuff, some really in depth stuff, like testing glow plugs, resetting injectors etc.

                          Very alarmed with 1st health check, more wrong with my car than not [emoji23].
                          Reset everything and did again. My issue was I did 1st check with engine off, so low voltage was giving lots of issues.

                          So I have a battery issue, which I already suspected.
                          A AFL sensor fault, but now I know it's the front axle sensor.
                          And an ambient temperature sensor circuit fault apparently.

                          AFL code reset OK, but keep getting the temp sensor coming up on software but nothing on the car or dash. Further investigation required.

                          Also noticed you can do loads with instrument panel, needle sweeps, brightness, all indication lights etc.

                          Iv hardly touched what it can do, like bringing up live data graphs etc.
                          But also think you can do to much. Why mess with Idle speed, injector rates, and lots of in depth stuff like that.
                          Will test more when I can.
