I brought a maxiscan 309 for about £13 quid off eBay. Works rather well tbh
-
That is NOT a "Tech2" .. it is an ELM327 .. and a clone one as well .. touch not with a bargepole IMHO..
A proper "Tech2" will set you back a lot more than that ...

Read about the Maxscans here ... all made by Autel .. again .. avoid ebay as most of those are illegal copies that generally don't work..

I have the GS500 (no longer made) that is an early Autel maxscan .. excellent bit of kit, but only does engine and a little bit of transmission

So would the maxiscan 309 cover the light that comes up with the car and the spanner in the middle, as it bugs me when i am driving and it comes on. :(

All codes cause by eml on. Not sure about spanner light :(
Even told me had misfire on pot 4 as well :y

Links removed as looks suspiciously like an illegal copy of a commercial product.

cheers everyone :y

Good luck getting an Autel to read Omega codes. Will read live data though.
That's not to say the Autel isn't a good scan tool. It's read and erased codes from every car I've used it on except the Omega. Handy for me as I work on lots of cars but as said don't expect it to read Omega codes.
Wonder why it won't? :-\

Autel GS500 reads codes, erases codes, reads live data on mine, and every other FL omega I've tried with ease .. although it doesn't work on PFL, and has limited success on MFL .. its all to do with the OBDII standard .. if the car is not OBDII then the maxscan can't read it .. :)

Remember the facelift 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0l are still not EOBD/OBDII compliant

Perhaps I should have said "every other DBW omega I've tried with ease" then .. :)

Still not technically correct, as it won't do the DBW 2.5TD U25DT or X25DT engines either.
The EOBD Omegas are 2.2 (petrol and diesel), 2.6 and 3.2 :)

I got a little blue one that bluetooths to my phone and I run it with Torque. Works very well. £15 from a well known online book store. Small enough that I can run the car with it in and the fuse-panel shut.

yup they work well .. just DON'T forget to take it out once you've finished .... the test socket is always live, and it will flatten the battery in about 5 days .... (or so I'm lead to believe ... ::) ::) )
