– ANCEL AD310 OBD2 Code Reader OBD2 Scanner Universal Car Engine Fault Code Reader, Car Diagnostic Tool for Most OBD Vehicles since 1996 & Newer (Black)

Had a fault constantly coming up on the car, and i didnt really want to pay someone £100+ just to tell me i got to spend more money. Purchased this, plugged it in to the car and within a few seconds i was given a code and description of a pending fault. Looked in the fault log and saw it happened several times. Quick google and an online car parts store and problem has gone away. Excellent value for money, performance is great, information that comes with it is clear. Simple to connect to vehicle

good check tool before spending money at the repair shop. Can clear some failt codes

Its compatible with most of the cars. Reads and clears engine codes no problem. Easy to use and functional. Connects straight away with your car. It's solid. Only extra functions that it's missing is clearing more than just engine codes. It doesn't read airbag or abs and brake system codes. I would be willing to pay more if it did.

After plugging the AD310 into the car's analyser socket, the instructions that appear on the screen quickly get you to the engine fault codes. In my case it flagged an oxygen sensor as problematic. It also gives a snapshot of the engine run-parameters (called freeze frames) at the instant the fault occurred. That is, parameters such as the temperature of the catalytic converter, throttle position, RPM, speed, water temperature etc. For my Corsa, there were about 30 engine parameters to study, all but one of which were as expected (the catalyst temperature was just outside its lower limit). The acronyms of the freeze frames were not obvious to me but they can be found on the internet. I printed off a list of them for future reference. It is not difficult to replace an oxygen sensor (with the right socket spanner) but I will probably get a garage to do it. On this occasion, the value of the AD310 is in putting me on the same page as the garage mechanic who will be doing the job.

Didn't work for 2010 Insignia

Brilliant! Diagnosed the engine management fault code on my Ford Transit Connect. Was able to follow advice online to remedy problem and then to use this device to clear the fault warning light. Saved me time and money booking in van for service for a simple fault I was able to resolve myself. Definitely try this before you splash out. Instructions included are easy to follow, I don't think you need to buy a more expensive device, this is spot on.

Used it once put it in the draw somewhere seem to do this job for five minutes but probably wouldn't work again who knows

good quaLITY
