If its a cheapo chinese copy, even less chance of it working well.

Does the Maxiscan count as that? It's not technically a copy (that I'm aware of) but it is Chinese (well, Taiwanese..) ;D
Its often cloned by the chinese...  ...hence the genuine Maxiscans seem to work much more reliably than the egay tat Maxiscans.

if you need scanner just for those vans
then I would go for this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-LEXIA-3-PP2000-DIAGNOSTIC-INTERFACE-CAN-BUS-PEUGEOT-CITREON-/251426884925?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3a8a35cd3d

Not for my vans Serek (although it will get used on similar motors), for my customer vehicles on the odd occasion it is required. Could be anything from a Smart car to a Sprinter Van. Hence the reason I'm looking for a universal device. ;)

I don't really want to spend too much as in over 1300 drains it would only have come in handy 4 times ;)

Just bought one of these readers. Does it work on a 2.6? Not clear from the posts if anyone has tried one.

Works on mine and Aaron's 3.2's. So should be fine on the 2.6. It is obd2 compatible after all, as is the 309.

Works well for auto box and engine code reading. Live data for fuel trims and O2 sensors etc.
Seem to remember a data logging mode but never used it.

Not sure how to distinguish genuine from copy though. :-\ to the point I wondered if genuine was also made in China...?  :-\

Although the unit says Autel Maxiscan MS309, a small QC sticker says "Konnwei". A bit of Googling brings up an identical looking unit badged as a Konnwei KW806.

Anyone had any experience of these?

When I plug it in, it does a search and the display reads "KWP2000 Protocol".

When I try to read the codes the display reads "ISO9141-2" and then comes up "Linking Error".

Yep.....mine has exactly the same 'piss off and stop bothering me' message. As stated, it won't play nicely with my 2.6 ....(MS509)

On the Autel MS509, if you go in to the settings you can display the serial number of the code reader. If it shows a number it is probably genuine, but if it displays for example 1234/'-\#-', it is likely to be a copy.  :y
The downside being that you won't know this until you've purchased it.  ::)

My MS509 works on my 3.2, the Navara and my daughters Peugeot.  :y
