MotorClue
Understand what's wrong with your car before you go to the garage.
Type in the fault code or say what you notice. MotorClue explains the probable causes, the risk level and what you can do.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android.
How it works
Enter a code or describe the problem
Type the OBD2 code a reader or the garage gave you, up to five at once. No code? Say in your own words what you notice: a noise, a smell, a light on the dashboard.
Get the probable causes and the risk
Every result comes with a risk level and answers “Can I keep driving?”.
- High risk Better not.
- Medium risk Yes, carefully, and only as far as the garage.
- Low risk Yes.
See what to do
The actions you can take yourself, and what the garage will check. When a repair is dangerous, the app gives you no steps: it marks it “Garage repair only”.
What the app does
- OBD2 code
- A diagnosis from the fault code; with several codes, up to five, one combined diagnosis with the risk of the most serious one.
- Describe the problem
- No code needed: describe the symptoms and the app points you in the right direction.
- Warning-light guide
- What each dashboard light means and what to do: 54 lights for cars, motorcycles, electric and hybrid cars. Works offline.
- Can I keep driving?
- High, medium or low risk, with a clear answer for each level.
- Step-by-step repair guide
- For the jobs you can do yourself. Dangerous ones get no guide: they send you to a garage.
- Questions about the result
- Up to three questions per diagnosis, with suggestions to get you started.
- Garages
- Garages near you, or in the city or postcode you search for, with filters for open now and rating.
- Vehicles
- Save several vehicles and pick the one you're checking.
- History
- Every check you run is saved automatically.
- Export PDF
- A diagnosis report to keep or to show at the garage.
- Will it pass the ITV?
- A checklist to go through before the ITV, Spain's roadworthiness test. It's indicative: it doesn't guarantee a pass.
- English and Spanish
- The app follows your phone's language, and you can change it in Settings.
