Title: Fault Code reader recommendation please
Post by: sandomenico on September 11, 2016, 07:20:47 pm

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive (up to £50 say) fault code reader for a 2006 Mk5?
Preferably something someone owns and uses!
This any good?
BW SuperScan VS450 VAG CAN OBDII Scantool Car Code Reader
Cheers y'all.

I brought this a while back for my Eddie works a treat scans all systems and clears fault codes. You can't do any long coding etc as with VCDS HEX CAN cable but depends what u want. Not bad for the money

Any cheap old OBD II from ebay for £5 with the carista app for another say £5

Or else splash out for VCDS and go legit!
