Hi sumo.

You are more likely to have a fault that needs diagnosing and a repair, but which ever it is, the Lexia tool you mention will be used for both. You can buy a clone of the lexia tool so you can do the work yourself that the mechanic has suggested. Have a look at this link to amazon and this link to ebay to see the lexia units for sale which connect to a laptop.

You can find out a bit more about the lexia system in our lexia topic in this link to the forum

If you use lexia and get any codes from it, please screen shot them and attach the images to your topic and someone can help you diagnose the fault or faults they indicate.

You mention a mechanic, so I assume the service schedule is up-to-date and there are no obvious faults present
