Recently migrated from C900s to a '99 Viggen, but am unsure of how much work is DIYable. Also have a 2010 9-3, but I haven't had any issues with that yet.
How much value is there in purchasing an OBD tool, and does anyone have any recommendations for specific models or features? OEM kits are in the $800-$1k range (and up)--can that 'pay for itself?' Or are the lesser universal scanners sufficient for shade tree mechanics? No codes yet at my mechanic's, but there are warm start troubles that will probably throw a code eventually. I have access to a quality mechanic, but i can see already this car is exponentially more expensive than c900 to maintain, so if I can dx and service anything on my own, it'll help.
