fault code readers
#3
I bought the cheap Clarke one ( https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ...ode-reader ) and it didn't work on the HDi, the Golf TDI, the 1.8 Avensis or anything else lol. Whether the more expensive one is better I couldn't say. I paid a bit more and bought the Laser 5091 instead, certainly didn't pay as much as MM as have it listed at now though!

So far it's only failed to read one car (2004 Astra iirc) so well worth the ~£100 I paid for it 3 years ago. Smile

HDi's aren't fully OBD2 compatible, but you can clear EMLs, read some live data and read a lot of faults from them...you'll almost certainly get a coolant heater plug fault lol.
