Diagnostic Scanner

[bobski1]

Working away more often now is making it harder to fix any issues when they appear. Normally I could pop down to local place & get them to read the codes & I could go away & fix the fault, however not knowing many of the garages around where I am they all want a fee however it makes sense now to get my own diagnostic tool & scan myself.

Question is, which one do I go for? I don't mind paying a decent one if it will read all the codes across different models, mrs has a Mini & I have a Seat at the moment.

I would give the guys at https://gendan.co.uk a call. They are very helpful and knowledgeable about diagnostic equipment and stock loads of t. I bought an Autel scanner off them a while back which did me proud.

Just avoid elm327 stuff. Can read engine ecu obd codes but not much else.

My 150 can do some programming and does read fault codes on all the ecu's in our cars (VW, Nissan)

Cheap on eBay if you don't mind a clone and hacked software.
