Ok guys, back again with the car that never fails to fail.

Finished up the PCV service a 2 weeks ago and did a 700 mile round trip last weekend from home to Wisconsin and back. I was cruising down the highway and had to jump on the brakes quickly. I stepped on them and the pedal was nice and hard ...

Ha, believe me. The PCV parts are just a drop in a very large bucket of money/time.

Ok, good news here. I think (hope) I found the smoking gun related to the P0133. This weekend I did the full PCV service with all genuine parts.

Ok, here comes the first report. I received my VeePeak with bluetooth 4.0 today. I only messed around with it for a few minutes after we got home from dinner. The device paired to the app immediately.

Thanks! I will dig her old phone out and poke around when I get the dongle delivered Wednesday.


EDIT: Spoiler alert, she must have traded her old phone in. Will try and see if any other family members have an old one sitting around. For the time being I will choose an app or two for the Veepeak ...

Thanks Chuck! Great info. I really wanted a dongle like that so I can swap into my truck and monitor oil and transmission temps on the fly while towing.

The app is called 850 OBDII?
