    [FONT=&quot]Hi guys,
    I can't find a board for scania trucks, so I post here. Please let me know if I post in the wrong place.
    [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
    I'm looking for a good diagnostic tool for scania g380. I searched the internet and there is a scania vci2.
    Is this tool good for g380?
    Any better suggestions?[/FONT]
    Thx!:biggrin_25519:

    VCI-2 is for newer trucks only. for older - VCI-1.

    G380 - G-is frame capasity, 380 - engine output. So to give you advice I need to know year of make, engine type, but better VIN.

    This is US truck forum.... Where are you from?

    I'm curious as to how many of the Scania's sold in the US in the '80's are still running?

    i think they sold 700trucks

    lot of them still works because there is few workshops which import trucks from europe for parts

    Thank you!
    It's 2008 g380. But I buy the tool not only for g380.
    Because most scania truck diagnostic tools are expensive, it will be better to be applicable for most scania common trucks.

    so for early scania trucks you need VCI-1, for late VCI-2. That's all!)

    There's a gentleman in my neighborhood with a mint condition 1960s Citroen DS and two Citroen DS's in various stage of dissasembly. I think the other two are "donors" for the running one since finding vintage Citroen DS parts, even in Europe, is probably hard.

    Gotta give the guy props though, that's a lot of dedication to keep something like that afloat.

    In our town there's an old, red two stroke Citroen automobile that I've seen once in awhile- since 1977. The driver used to be in the AF, now I think he's a retiree. It smokes as much today as it did in 1977. He has more balls than I do, I couldn't stand the shame and embarrassment of being seen in it.

    We laughed at him back then, it still causes chuckles.

    I never knew that Citroen made 2 strokes and my father has always had only Citroens.
