Does anyone own the PeakeResearch SRS reset tool? http://www.peakeresearch.com/srstool.htm I'm thinking about buying one and renting it to people for like $15. Would anyone be interested in renting it? I also have the latest CEL code reader that I'd be willing to rent too. http://www.peakeresearch.com/code_tool.htm __________________

here's my thinking:
the code reader is nice to have around so i'd buy it myself
the SRS reset tool would be nice to have the club own and could be loaned or rented out. don't know if we have the funds for this or not. unfortunately, i can foresee the tool not being returned and not sure what would be done in that situation. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

There are people on bf.c that rent them out. I guess I can see the need for recouping the money. I wouldn't mind laying out the money and simply having a thread that keeps track of who has it. Part of me says it would be open only to site supporters. There could also be a deposit that is returned once the next person receives it in working order. But it's Dusten's call.
Edit: There could even be a checkout basket on the website. __________________ ...steven

I have the peake code reader already, and as of now, have not had a need for the SRS tool. Who knows what will happen... The rental idea is good as far as I'm concerned... | | | | | 01-21-2006, 01:28 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Lincoln Park Capitol Hill, Washington DC Posts: 741 |
I just saw the other thread also and have been thinking of something like this the last few months. I'm IN!
I will definitely rent (not buy) a SRS/CEL reset tool.
Where do I sign up for deposit?
As for deposit, I think a one time deposit and returnable when a person leaves or ceases to pay to support this site.
It might simplify the process. __________________

I have them both already. SRS is nice, unless you have a sensor mat problem. __________________

I am thinking of resetting CEL right before driving to the annual State Inspection so that it will pass the inspection. __________________

Hopefully the CEL won't come on. I wonder if they can tell when the CEL was last reset? __________________ ...steven

If you reset the CEL, it can take several hours of driving and/or starting and stopping the engine for the error to clear.
I did this same thing: re-installed the secondary air pump, re-set the lights, drove to inspection.
The car passed, the light remained off, but I was warned by the inspector that when you re-set directly before teting, the errors can still show...
Do it the day before, or a couple days before to be safe. | | | | | |
