Part 2: Review (Feedback)
Foxwell NT301 feedback
1). The Foxwell NT301 hardware is good quality
FoxWell NT301 unit is reasonably well constructed and should survive the odd knock or two. The screen is clear and the keyboard firm and positive to use. As the keyboard is not of the membrane type then I guess one should keep liquids/fluid away from it.
The EOBD connecting lead is of adequate length and well finished with moulded strain reliefs at both ends.
The on-board HELP is very limited but the User Manual is concise and informative so not too much to complain about really.
The three dedicated LEDs (Green - all Ok, Yellow - pending DTCs, Red - firm DTCs - MIL light activate) give a great quick guide as to vehicle EOBD status.
2). Foxwell NT301 update free lifetime
The lifetime free software updates are a big bonus. Although a scan tool of this type only focuses/dedicates itself to EOBD diagnostics and regular updating is not required the ability and access to free updates is most welcome.
3). Test report
My 14 year faithful old Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.8l 16v suddenly started to lose power and idle erratically and the engine fault light came on. Not knowing much about modern fuel injection systems. I read on the Picasso Owners forum about code readers and bought this one. To cut along story short, it worked !!! The codes showed the EGR valve and the fuel injectors to be the possible causes. The EGR valve was full of hard deposits, easily cleaned though. The fuel injectors will be cleaned or replaced. The car is running quite well now and averages about 38 mpg in the rural area where I live . Motor service outfits where I live charge about £40 to examine the codes logged on a cars computer, goodness knows what a Citroen Agency would charge! The NT301 is well made and sturdy and I had no problems installing the software on my computer.
