XTOOL D8 scan tool review diagnostic machine

[@1BCamden]

Love how your thumb injury develops over the course of the episode, hope it come good. I’ve been looking to buy a scan tool for a while now, and as I’ve got a Volvo and an Brera, it seems to fit the bill. Two serious requirements being will it reset the rain sensor on the Brera 3.2Q4, and will it zero the (brand) new auto trans on the C30T5, the ATF change, and learn. In Australia, these two items would add up to the cost of the unit alone.

Sorry not trier doing that with it yet I'm afraid.

Wow I had Sega game gear. Haven't heard that name in 30 years lol

Just found your channel, feel some binge watching coming on as AR and Fiat as so closely linked. Your work is really good and like the way you put your videos together. My son and I both have Abarth Punto Evo's. This is a great piece of kit but overkill as you say for one car. What diagnostic tool would you recommend for the Abarth Punto Evo?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Multi ecu scan all day.

[@Badger66]

@Italia Autos Thought so... just need a laptop to run it on 🤣

[@alexanderlaver1607]

Would it access a selespeed controls to recalibrate or depressurise etc?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Not sure but when I can test it I'll let you know. But for what multi ecu scan costs buy that.

Hi Neil, I'm in Australia and enjoy all of your uploads. I have a 2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV 1750 turbo petrol and I'm after a scan tool for resetting service lights. This is a fantastic unit but a little pricey for my use. Is there a cheaper scan tool you might be able to recommend that is simple to use and at a reasonable price point?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Multi ecu scan and a laptop

[@musmuk5350]

I would've thought you only used MultiECUScan

[@ItaliaAutos]

This boots up quicker.

[@dobromirdishkov8823]

Can we program new(second hand) ECU to a car with the unit ?

[@ItaliaAutos]

not sure sorry.

[@henryhol8538]

Another brilliant video! Will you be at today's National Alfa Day?

[@ItaliaAutos]

No I'm at a wedding unfortunately

[@everythingretro2036]

Hi Neil I was wondering if you could help me I have a alfa romeo 156 2005 2.0 jts. I have a issue with the airbag light staying on. I have checked all connectors under the seats. Cleaned them. Still no joy. What advice or common cause for the red airbag light to stay on. Many thank Winston

[@ItaliaAutos]

Have you read the codes

[@everythingretro2036]

They are not showing up any codes this why I'm confused

[@ItaliaAutos]

If airbag light is on you must have codes.

[@everythingretro2036]

It's not showing up with any codes just the red airbag light on the dash.

[@everythingretro2036]

@@ItaliaAutos Hi 👋 Neil it just turned out to be dirty connections in the boot my code reader wasn't no good for this car many thanks again 👍 😀

[@colinbolton993]

love your enthusiasm. But spend a day or two and do a course or two on vehicle electronics and using modern OEM and third party scan tools. At present you would be better off with dedicated simple tools.

[@ItaliaAutos]

haha. thanks for the comment

[@zzhughesd]

Third of 2 grand units. Wonder if a third the tech. Will be force a re-Gen of a diesel. Cheers

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yes it will

[@IntelligentElephant]

I've been using this on my truck and it doesn't work very well. 2011 Silverado 5.3 It doesn't turn on lights on my truck, live data is very slow and sometimes doesn't work. It gives options that my truck doesn't even have, so of course that part doesn't work. Really I hate this machine. You'll notice NO ONE keeps using this after they review it. Because it doesn't really work

[@IntelligentElephant]

And if you notice they NEVER use this machine BUT give it a good review (like this guy) you'll know they are liars and just want more free stuff

[@ItaliaAutos]

I use it most days still. Shame it doesn't work for you.

[@arga1966]

I bought this a week ago and have used it 6 times it has got me out of trouble every single time i needed it. Mostly use it for key programming. It does all the asian cars with no issues. On a jaguar F-pace 2019 it was a bit slow to read all 42 ecu. But it did get all codes and cleared. Honda civic 2006 after flat battery reset-immobiliser no problem. Reprogram keys on nissan Qashqai 2009 no problem. Honda c-rv programmed spare key in no time. Hyundai i-20 2014 loat keys no problem For the price and what it does is great. Obviously if you want to pay more money there is Autel 608 but it costs 5 times more😜

[@IntelligentElephant]

@@ItaliaAutos did you make more videos using it? I would love to see someone using it on a 2011 Silverado 5.3. it says it can roll down windows and it doesn't. But it does turn on my blower motor, so I'm thinking this is for asian cars

[@RehanKhan-wu9mt]

How much this scan tool USD ?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Prob around 800

[@frasercurrie7267]

Have you run over your thumbs

[@ItaliaAutos]

Massive hit with a hammer
