Hi,
Before I buy can anyone tell me if the U480 CAN-Bus OBDII OBD2 EOBD Trouble Code Read Diagnose Tester Diagnostic Scanner is worth buying?

I have the EML on yet again so instead of taking it to a garage again I would like to know what it is beforehand. Cost is £20 off ebay.

Thanks

It's just the usual generic china crap. Will read P codes ok, may struggle with some manaufacturer specific ones.

Garages know what they are talking about and know about how you can lock your ecu Wink
