Can you buy a diagnostic tool for a 1996 e220 w124 if so where can i get it from and how much does it cost?
I've got the VAGcom software for my A8 but need something for the merc. Am i right in assuming its an OBDII tool?
Also in from everybodies experience can a blown exhaust cause erratic idle and cutting out at idle?

thanks

 

I wish you best of luck. I haven't been able to find anything worth having for my E500 tools or manuals. Jim

 

no it's not OBD.

you may fabricate flash code reader by using led and some wires.

 

Great,, do you have a schematic and the codes? Thanks Jim
