OBDII / EOBD Scanner

[pnevesfoto]

Hi guys,
I was thinking on buying one of these for future usage...

Autel MaxiScan MS509 OBDII scanner

they've become quite cheap and I think they are quite handy and useful for diagnosis of common glitches and fusses that usually happen after a period with long driven mileage...

Is there anything you would like to add as useful info or any reason why I shouldn't step into fields where so many others harvest their incomes and take matters on my own?

feel free to enlighten me as I will be much thankful if you do so...

cheers...

just bought one of these myself from bay of e's, was a bit concerned at first but works a treat on a 2011 Vito, read and cleared the fault code no problems.

all the live data sections seem to be working as well, they respond to what I'm doing.

maybe a bit limited in its ability compared to star, but then star doesn't cost £26 delivered.

waiting for my fault to re-appear then I'll read it again, hopefully same code twice then I'll replace the part.

think it's a fair bit of kit for the money.

Oh, and it seems mine might be a copy version as it doesn't have silver sticker or serial number, but it seems to work fine.
