Common questions
Before you pick a generation
How do I know which generation I have?
The listing often gives the code. If you only know the year, type it in the search box. The years on the card show whether it falls in.
Why is the facelift a separate row?
The engine is often different. That is why the fault list is separate.
Is it free?
The fault list is.
