1.  News

Pico Open Day

We are opening our doors to our automotive customers for a day on the 29th April at our HQ in St Neots, UK. Thanks to a fantastic response so far there are only a few places available for the afternoon session.

We will be hosting presentations on our automotive software, and explaining all the functions and latest features. You will have the opportunity to put your questions in person to our experienced technical specialists, so that you leave the event confident enough to get the most out of your oscilloscope. We will also be displaying our product range along with all the latest releases such as the WPS500X pressure transducer.

If you would prefer to try out our products on real vehicles or engine rigs, please consider one of our Engine Management Diagnostics courses.

• Now includes all revised and improved standard tests, motorcycle tests and PicoDiagnostics in a single file

• Change channel options just by clicking the channel name

2.  Tackling the DIY Expert

This was a 2001 Peugeot 406 2.0L petrol with a misfire. It came with one of the most comprehensive shopping lists I’ve seen including: new plugs, new aftermarket coil pack, new genuine coil pack, new CKP sensor, replacement fuel pump, replacement fuel pump relay, replacement O2 sensor… and a partridge in a pear tree.
