Default Leonardo in Action!

Gents,

Just wanted to put out an officialy thread on my recent addition of the Leonardo diagnostic computer. It just arrived today and it's already been put to good use, performed a clutch wear read on an '06 Maserati GS, read CEL codes on an '02 Ferrari 360 and diagnosed an '05 Lamborghini Murcielago with a E-Gear fault all before the day was over.

Here's a couple pics of the machine in action:

Josh, congrats to you & the new arrival. Looks like you're already having too much fun with it.

Sure wish you & your new toy were about 1200 miles closer to Houston!

High mileage, low compression, and missing on a few cylinders.....just like my cars.

Hmmm, that's the same thing "she" said!

But to keep things on track here, I sure would like to get the 550 on a Leonardo to see what they're capable of.

Touche! I'm interested as well John, I haven't done anything other than basic diag work with it so far. Hopefully I get a 550 in before long and I can put it to good use and give you some feedback. What functions are you hopinf for specifically?

Congrats Josh. I recently got a postcard from a well-known Reistertown shop announcing their aquisition of the Leonardo as well. Good to know our local mechanics are using the most advanced tuning and diagnostic tools for all models of Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini.

...and so the plot thickens!! The cars aren't getting any more simple, it's important for all of us to keep up on the technology to make sure owning these cars is as easy as possible for you guys.

I stopped by Josh's shop about a week ago, got a tour and saw what Leonardo can do. I must say I am quite impressed. For a young guy, he's got skill and sense beyond his years. Kudos!!
