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.

Thanks for the info Lee. I will probably get it for the sake of £20 for now. Car is driving me insane with the amount of problems I have had and only had it since July last year...oh well never mind lol - nice looking car though!!!

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