Transmission Issues. 2.7 CRD

[JeanLuke]

I bought the one from Europe, but if the software website lists the Aussie one as compatible, I would go there. It wasn't around when I got mine.

Just heard about this thread from Adrian D.

I too am looking for a scanner that will work with 2.7CRD WG's - in my case to diagnose ABS issues.

I can state the BlueDriver Bluetooth adaptor does NOT work with 2.7CRD's though I believe those with the V8 can get it to work.

I had a look for the Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0 and found it on Amazon for just under £23.00 (much better price than the £99 for the BlueDriver).

WJ/WG support is somewhat ambiguous though there are claims that with the right app (e.g. Bimmercode) you can code BMW's (an unrelated requirement I have).

Is the WG really not OBD2 compliant? It has the OBD2 port & my Autel 419 scanner connects to the engine system (ISO 9141-2 iirc) so at least part of the system is compliant. I know post 1996 US vehicles are OBD2 compliant. I was under the impression that all post '98 European cars were too. BlueDriver claims post 2001 petrol & post 2004 diesels are covered by their adaptor & app.

The WG does a half-baked attempt at OBD2. Some (most) engine parameters work. Nothing else does, unless you have the upmarket scantools (Bosch or DRB-III) or WJ Diag Pro.

I use Torque Pro for a boost gauge and coolant temperature. It works perfectly.

For the transmission, without the right tool you're out of luck. Error codes are hit and miss - mostly miss.

So this morning I have ordered the Aussie seller's "authentic" ELM327. So another several days of waiting until that gets here........

That's the hassle with doing things yourself, it just takes so long.

The "authentic" ELM showed up yesterday and it works!! Found error codes from nearly 100,000km ago so cleared everything. Got back a P2602 ( ID 10 solenoid valve: power supply value/signal outside range). Cleared that and then got the P0700 again. Cleared that and took it for a drive. Driving and shifting as per normal on a couple of drives now. Happy with that.

Plan now is to just drive it and see what happens........

Thanks for the assistance guys. And yes, a sticky for code readers is probably a good idea.

[JeanLuke]

If you've been driving for a while with codes, you might also want to reset the adaptives under transmission. It causes it to relearn. I've found after doing things like the transfer case switch, clearing the adaptives makes it run smoother.
YMMV.
