Snap On are not the best at diagnostics
Any 2004 onwards built diesel will be EOBD, any EOBD code reader should connect & be able to pull the fault codes from the memory.
NOTE: Ignition needs to be switched ON to get comms with the engine ecu else the immobiliser will block access to the code reader.
Peugeot Planet / Diagbox would be the ultimate thing to use on this.

Yes.
Either try another EOBD code reader OR try & find someone with Peugeot Planet / Diagbox to scan it instead.
I take it the car runs but the diagnostic light is on?

Find someone with Planet / Diagbox OR just buy Planet / Diabox yourself, it's best run on Windows XP.
Its the diagnostic leads that cost, the software is available free if you know where to look / who to ask BUT the software would come with the leads anyway.
