Hi, I have bought a Delphi (OBD11/ELM 327) diagnostic system from China but I'm not able to install it from the disc (the install program is corrupt) and despite god knows how many messages to the supplier (supposedly UK based) "yeah right!"I'm getting no reply.. does anyone know where I can source a disc to install and use it, or recommend an alternative ?

So!, I'm just back from the stealers, and despite following their advice and diagnostic report, and replacing all the ABS sensors and the O/S/R tone ring, they tell me they are still unable to clear the codes and extinguish the 3 lights and that as you can see by the included report it will be "a process of elimanation" (their words) and could be "any or all" of the above faults. Can anyone advise or talk me through what I should do as I can't afford to let them carry out the diagnostic/repair work at £96 + vat per hour plus parts and labour? stealers report.pdf

Hi pat69, I feel your pain... They are such a lovely car to own and to drive, but I guess like all beautiful ladies they come with a lot of issues lol.. I have resolved the issues with the cooling fans and temp gauge which appears to have been a dodgy solenoid.. I've removed all of the old ABS speed sensors and I am waiting on the new ones arriving (should be here Monday). I'm not expecting them to resolve the issue but if I do end up having to take it to the stealers at least it'll be one more thing they can't sting me for.. This Covid19 has a lot to answer for but the main thing is that we all stay safe and well Good luck with yours pal and fingers crossed we'll both be driving them again in the near future

Thanks Brown Sugar, now, to add to my woes, when I turn on the ignition, the temperature gauge shoots to red and the cooling fans kick in on full blast. The only way to stop them is to pull the two relays under the bonnet but the temp gauge stays in the red almost as though it has a direct feed to it. Do you or anybody know of anybody who can come look at it, maybe with the right scanner I'm in the Midlothian area of Scotland?

I have a 300c (2007) I parked the car up for several months and the battery drained. I jump started it and it drove fine except I now had three orange lights on, ABS, ESP/BAS and traction control.. I drove it for a several months like this untill eventually giving it to a friend of my daughters garage to fix. Needless to say it sat in their yard for almost a year with nothing done to it. I finally got tired of chasing them and went and retrieved it myself. Lo & behold, not only do I still have all the lights on, it drove home in low gear pretty much the whole 7 miles home only changing up a gear very reluctantly when I was nearly home and wouldn't go above 30-35 mph. The mechanic told me it had a error code u140e which he couldn't clear and that it would have to go to the dealers to have the ABS/ECU "reflashed" with a "Starscan" device..as the code represented an "implausible communication" error ???? I'm now desperately seeking help and/or guidance

Hi, I have a 300c (2007) its a long story with the same ending, I parked the car up for several months and the battery drained.

I drove it for a few months like this till eventually giving it to a friend of my daughters garage to fix. Needless to say it sat in their yard for almost a year with nothing done to it.

Hi guys, I LIVE IN EDINBURGH UK. I'm looking for some help. I've owned my 2007 Chrysler 300c for a few years and used it to do the odd wedding and chauffeur work until a couple of years ago.. I left it in storage for a few months, the battery went flat, I fitted a new battery but the three dreaded lights (abs-tcs-esp) appeared on the dash. The dealers wanted to charge me £2000.00 to replace the driveshafts/tone rings assembly's etc which I kindly declined.. A mechanic friend looked at it and said all sensors were reporting ok and to ignore the lights as I only used it occasionally.. Long story short... I needed to make it my regular drive due to loss of my car... it ran fine for a couple of months then I noticed I had no cruise control....then after a few weeks I went to work one morning and the car wouldn't change up through the gears, so I parked it up again and now I need to get it running as my other cars dying.. Has anyone encountered this issue and/or have any ideas how to resolve this? on my mechanic friends diagnostic machine it comes up wit a U140E which won't clear.. He says It may mean that my ECU needs to be reflashed with the original software due to it being corrupted, ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED
