Diagnosing your car with Lionheart

[207_gti]

Here's a tool that will help owners with their cars and could save you multiple trips to the dealership. I use this tool nearly every day, especially since my car is modified, just to keep an eye on everything and make sure all the components are working as they should be.

It's extremely easy to use. It has been developed by E-tuners, the world's leading tuning specialists for the 207 RC/GT/THP.

From the website:

What is Lionheart;

About this version

Lionheart version 0.7.3 beta is the most stable version created to the day.

It is still beta, which means there are many things missing. But everything serious

seems to work properly.

New features

Upgraded fault code database

Improved fault code detection system (Lionheart will read all fault codes without problems)

Better UI behaviour. Windows remember their position when you quit the application

Graphical representation for Injection duration

Automatic detection for ELM327 cable - automatic connection

Known issues

Bluetooth ELM327 are not supported

Older ELM327 working at 9600bps are not supported

Win7 and Win Vista have issues with UI's colours, causing big black areas with no information.

0-100km/hour time measuring feature is not functional yet

The most important feature of this tool is that you can monitor the "knock correction". Knock is an engine's greatest enemy, and is what causes broken pistons and conrods. By being able to keep an eye on this, you will be able to detect a problem before it leads to expensive engine repairs.

In order to use this software, you will need an ELM-327 OBD-II cable. You can buy this online from uae.souq.com for about AED200
