Hand held fault code readers

Featured Replies

As the title says really,

Just wondering if hand held scanners are any good as I'm thinking of buying one seen as the EML decided to randomly come on today !

I've looked at vag com but dont really want to spend that much cash as I may well be selling up very soon so found this: http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_GDVAGPRO.html

Any advice would be very helpful :)

The VCDS-Lite cables for about £10 on ebay can read one code at a time.

just bought one of ebay i will let you know how good it is cost me £7.90

Im in the market for a reasonably priced code reader, look forward to your verdict m8.

Just seen them so might get one and see how it goes, I read on the feedback that someone says you can't clear the codes with it like it says you can ???

If you could let me know what its like then that would be great :thumbup:

That's a very good FCR, they do a smaller version for £39 which is also good for engine /abs/auto box and SRS. I carry one in the car.

Thanks Moggy, I looked at the £39 one but it looked very basic which is why I posted a link for the next one up from it.

Gonna see what this lite version of VCDS is like first then probs make a purchase :)

Weird as now the EML has gone off again, Hmmmm.....
