Fantastic bit of kit, can do much more than just read and erase fault codes. Mine has paid for itself many times over.


ive just paid for the other one.

we use them at college, are good tbf. ive got a website that tells you what EVERY code is.

will say though, just because it tells you a fault doesnt necessarily mean that replacing that sensor etc will fix the problem. you do have to use a bit of brains too.

i just got one. seems to work ok. told me the reason the engine light was on was lambda sensor so saves going out buying a cat first i guess.

Looks similar to mine, plug it in, tell it to read codes, then there is a book with it that tells you the meaning, and you can erase it if you wish.

How do i check what the code mean?

Their good for the money and easy to use

Limited functions though, having said that, you can read and delete faults so saves going the garage everytime you have a dash light on
