Links and pictures are usually not permitted by members until they have posted 10 times. I've allowed this one though.

As for the VI Performance thing, I've never anything like it so can't really comment. Peraonally though I don't really see the point. Surely you know if something's wrong.

Alright I suppose but I'd rather put the money into something to improve the cars performance rather than tell you about it.

its good in a way as it can read the ecu so can make its money back by reading and clearing the codes - you do need to knwo what the codes mean and what caused them.

Herb has something similar called liquid gauge.

I'd quite like the information but I never bother with such a device in my remapped car as it never displayed any signs of putting up fault codes wantonly. There was a central display anyway which gave enough text to assist anyway.
