Welcome to the forum jwmotors,
Lexia it the tool for reading codes on the Pluriel, but a petrol will work with limited functionality with a generic code reader.

I would start by reading the codes again, they can give you a clue as to why the MIL is on. Just deleting them won't help very much.jwmotors wrote:Recentley purchased a c3 pluriel 1.4 05 plate old style tu engine, the car went into limp mode, i checked injectors and one had a leak , replace o rings and cleared codes, the car drove 10 miles home fine, I took the car out today enline light came on, 3 miles further the car cut out and wont start, Iv heard of a wire needing cutting and soildering any ideas?? cheers
