Obd11 Scanners

[biscuit]

I have just purchased a BlueDriver Bluetooth scanner as the adverts claim it covers my van a 2006 2.8crd, guess what it wouldn’t even read the vin? So its gone back, I have looked through old posts but am confused [ normal for me] but can anyone suggest a scanner that actually works especially one that covers ABS, the local garage wants over £50.00 to read and tell me its got a fault not what’s wrong. Any help people?

Buy Delphi OBD Reader from eBay - Covers mine MK4 and MK5 Voyagers , and many more cars.

I have exactly the same vehicle from the same year.

 

I use the Autel Maxi Diag Elite MD802 on mine.

 

It's a few quid dearer but very good for a mid range OBD scanner.

MK4 was 2.8 CRD 

MK5 2.8 CRD 

 

Never tested in on 2.5 CRD but it should work fine.

I've a DelphiWOW. 9/10 times its ComPort settings that means it does not connect.

 

 

Generally IMO there are diagnostic scanners and toys. Even a Delphi is a toy, but the reason the O/P is charged £50 a pop for a read is a good scanner is good money - so north of £500 for a grey and £1k for a Chinglese copy. So as karmannski says go Delphi or find some indi with an X431 or DS708 both of which scan MK4 codes.

Well I got a Fox NT301 works great with my 2007 2.8 crd live data works good as well at around £55.00.
