What Diagnostic tool are people using

[tidyrob69]

Hi, can anyone recommend a decent OBD2 reader? It's for a Seat Leon/ VAG but i'd prefer it to work on most modern cars.
This one looks good on the face of it...

I have an Autel DS708. I think it's been replaced by something called a xx808. It can read everything that i've thrown at it including manufacturer specific codes for other systems like central locking, a/c , etc and do some programming

Ok cheers, i'll have a look into it. someone reccomded the one in the link below, its VAG only but pretty cheap. I may give it a go and if it it's no good then go for one of the more expensive all vehicle readers.

If you just want a cheap scanner for basic OBD2 functions and live data. Download Torque pro for $5 from the app store and get a bluetooth ELM237 from Amazon for about $10.

You can't get cheaper.

I use autel diaglink. Has a list of manufacturers and is a little cheaper than the top end ones as you pay per unlock of vehicle manufacturer (comes with 1free unlock). All the cars in my family are VWs so I unlocked the VAG one which obviously comes with vw, seat, Audi, Skoda etc. Reads anything I’ve had problems with like ABS codes air bag codes and EML etc. Even faulty motors in doors etc. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Autel-Diagnostics-Diaglin...
