Exctool OBD2 Scanner Car OBD II Code Reader with Reset Auto Enhanced Full OBD Mode Check Engine Diagnostic Scan Tool for All 2001+ Petrol & 2004+ Diesel Vehicles

Works well

Really easy to use good diagnostics save you £££ if you are mechanically minded 👍

For a car mechanic, this is likely to be about as useful as a chocolate teapot. However, for anyone who has a basic interest in cars and is keen in understanding what is required to keep them happy, this is a really useful piece of kit.In all likelihood, the most useful features will be to check and provide information on error codes (when the engine management light illuminates) and giving details on the battery voltage. It also provides information on various other parameters, such as oxygen sensor readings, accelerator pedal position etc but I suspect these are only likely to be those who are more mechanically minded.The device is very easy to connect to the OBDII port and fortunately, no error codes were found (which wasn't surprising, given my engine management light is not currently illuminated). However, if an error code were to be found, the device will provide details of the code and it is then possible to look up further details as to the part or sensor which is causing the fault and give you an idea as to what it might take to fix it. If it is an isolated fault, the error code can also easily be cleared.The other aspect to this device which I will find useful is the battery voltage checker. When I tested it, it returned a voltage of 12.0v (which equates to about a 50% charged battery) and so now I know I need to place my car on a trickle charger. For completeness, I then also tested the battery with a multi-meter and it returned a voltage of 12.1v. As such, this device is not completely accurate but it is within the right ball park and provides a reasonably reliable summary of the status of your car battery.Overall, a useful tool for providing some basic information about the health of your car.

This was a present for my son but he seems pleased with it.

Ideal machine picking up for faults. Recommend

This item although is useful to have for most vehicles , unfortunately the plug to connect to my car does not fit…It is not suitable for any Peugeot 207 year 2008-2009 because of connection plug .So I will have to return it for a refund .

Good value for money

Came with instructions and was very easy to use. Good quality, robust construction. Used it to fault find engine management problem. Saved paying for diagnostics. There is a facility to reset everything so engine management light goes out. However, this does not cure the problem and the issue should be dealt with in the near future. I would definitely recommend this product.
