Hi,

I've seen this for sale on amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001KSZQNM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A3AMF12UI1VI2Q

Is it worth buying? I want to keep on top of the car maintenance and wonder if this could be a useful bit of kit.

Thanks,

Pete

I'd rather buy the OBDII cable from Ross-Tech and get VCDS Lite

Thanks for the input. Why would that be better? Please forgive the naivety of the question, but I am new to the car.

More specific than a generic code reader. If you have an android phone, Torque and an OBDII Bluetooth adapter is an option too!

I've got both lol, vcds lite is best though as you can check all sorts of things which you can't on a fault code reader

You would do better with a vag com lead if you plan to only use it on your car. The vag com (vcds) lead will give you much more accurate codes and do a lot more for you.

If you just want to clear codes get a bluetooth one and use your smart phone with the torque app.
