code reader for 166?

Is this suitable?

thanks,

depends on how old the car is - i think pre 2001 you need alfadiag or similar as the cars aren't fully OBDB2 compliant...

Technically there are no OBD2 compliant Alfas.
OBD2 is an American std for all cars sold in the USA.
The last Alfa sold in the USA was the 164 and I am sure that isn't covered.

EOBD (similar to OBD2) was introduced for all Petrol Alfas from the 2001 model year (so late 2000).

i stand corrected - trust david C to be lurking and picking up my mistakes

So- does this mean this thing will work?

that is if it does what it says on the tin.

Richard

when was your 166 built?

Don't know when built, how do I tell?

but it is listed in manual as eobd, so that tells me (I think) that its late enough to use this generic tool?

Thanks for your help Dave C

Would this be easier - connect to laptop (same seller)

Thanks for that, I have already purchased the original scanner of my first post.

I'll let you know how I get on with it.

I will be interested to know how you get on with this.
