Which diagnostic obd scanner to get?

Post by jonpaul3rd »

Hi. I have a Renault Grand Scenic 2011, and I'd like to purchase a diagnostic machine that will enable me & my independent garage to identify faults, and reset them once fixed. But there are so many out there - it's a minefield, and I don't know if I need to spend £10 (Torque OBD) or hundreds! Help!!! Jon

Carly is good but I understand the Autel unit is good for Renault. Check out a Renault forum.

As above
My Son has one it is the size of a large fob and connects with his mobile, I had problems with a warning in my BMW Mini 2020, it would access the codes but no analyses; you need to decide which car manufacturer you will use it on, or pay big bucks for an all singing and dancing one.
