Currently have a microscan blue point reader, but it won't read steering brakes etc, so after a cheap one that does more than the engine

It will come in handy even if you never use it

In my experience, for something like this, car specific ones work the best bar something like a Snap-On Solus, which of course is expensive. MyCarly seems OK, but I'll need to see how the Mondeo acts with it.
What car is it?

I'm considering an Autel MaxiCheck PRO as this appears to do most DIY needed functions without breaking the bank (£140). I already have a basic Autel scanner that has worked fine for about ten years so am confident in the reliability of the brand.

Is it for your own cars or to use on customers?
I have a copy Delphi unit which was about £50 I think, about 4 years ago. Its been brilliant. From testing individual components to fault code reading and logging. its been used to reset service lights 9once serviced I will add) brake warning lights etc on modern BMW's, worked on a fault code on the wifes RR evoque. And many a time on my vag engine 1.8t vehicle.
For the price I have been more than impressed

Autel Diaglink.
You download the specific make of cars you are needing it for.
I have VW, Landrover, BMW, Alfa but it also has all the cars in the brand so Fiat with the Alfa, all the VW brands with the VW etc.

Generics may do engine, even gearbox, but when it comes to bespoke bits like air suspension, setting ride heights, etc, they fail. Mine has paid for itself many times. |
