A Compatible Obd2 Reader

[Simon12]

Searching previously on the forum I know there've been a number of questions here about this that remain unanswered.

Having dug around for a while to find a suitable OBD2 reader for my 99 GS, I was concerned that most cheapies on the market only read engine data and I wanted abs/srs functionality too.

I plumped for the Autel MaxiDiag JP701 and it works at treat - I've just read and reset the ABS ecu and a number of engine management codes lurking too following hydraulic brake booster replacement.

I bought mine from talktomycar.co.uk for 199 plus next day delivery. They're not the cheapest place but they were the only place that provided proper contact details, like phone number, and very promptly answered my questions before buying.

Hope this helps,

Simon

Hi Simon

I have just read this after replying to your booster question in the braking section and that is good information for the forum members because I tried for ages to get one to work on my car and the information from other members was forget it as the 1999 was not set up for OBD11 so you have proved them wrong.

Too late for me though as I sold mine 3 weeks ago as it was a money pit with problems plus the high fuel charges,now bought a VW passat TDI and what a fantastic car for a diesel it really moves and I am getting 48mpg local driving and high 50mpg sometimes 60mpg plus on a run so well pleased.
