So what will it mean for Independents? ALL vehicles manufactured after September 2009 1) Tighter emission limits for diesel and petrol engine vehicles 2) Access for us to manufacturers information for vehicle repair So manufacturers will have to give access to technical information by law.......but at what cost and how awkward will they make our lives? Carryout a service as per manufacturers schedule which will probably mean connecting the vehicle with a PassThru device for the latest software update on the manufacturers website. If you do not then the warranty may be invalidated. This may even mean that you cannot reset the service light until the software in the ECU has been updated and validated using PassThru Security and Safety systems do not fall within this legislation, so access to technical data, codes and may be even parts could give the Independent a big headache Peter
