Review: Excellent OBD2 Engine Scanner - I bought this scanner to trace and repair a fault on my son's car that had a permanently lit engine management light. I've never used one before so I can't compare it with any others. The Scanner is good quality and comes with all the leads that you need and is easy to use. The fact that I was able to diagnose and repair the fault, and I was able to turn off the management light means that with one use the scanner it has paid for itself. Well worth the money. I needed to contact nexpeak regarding installing the drivers. Support was excellent. The driver that wouldn't install was for windows XP so not needed. Things that I think could be improved. The instructions are written by someone who's first language isn't English and can be difficult to follow, but any DIYer will quickly get the hang of it. The instructions should have a glossary of terms at the begining, for example DTC-diagnostic trouble codes, DLC,MIL,I/M etc. I kept having to search to see what they meant. It would be better if you didn't need to make a note of the fault codes and go back into a different screen to see the definition. Overall I'm very pleased I bought the scanner. Very highly recommended.
Review: Great piece of kit - This is my first Scanner/Code Reader and very impressed. I did lots of searching before buying and in this price bracket, seemed to get very good reviews overall. Sturdy, good sized screen, colour screen, long connecting lead (important), lots of functions and crisp buttons. Easy to use but written instructions could perhaps be a little better. Although once you've got the hang of it, it is really easy to use Works straight out of the box. Has lots of other functions which I am yet to explore This has saved me hundreds of pounds rather than going to a garage to get them to check any fault codes. I rate myself as a good car diy'er. Scan the codes with this reader. Go online to car forums or youtube and find the most likely things which would cause the error code and nine out of ten times you can fix it yourself for very little money. At worst, you'll know what the problem is when you talk to your garage mechanic. Really good and pretty essential for any modern car.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this device mokka x 2018 engine b14net ?**
A: Hello, Yes. This OBD2 diagnostic scanner for mokka x 2018 engine b14net.

**Q: Will this work on Maserati Gran Turismo**
A: If this has an OBD2 socket it should read any engine faults and other codes but it is NOT A PROGRAMMER nor a subsitute for a dealer unit which will and would be able to tell you in detail where the faults are and what is required to fix them. With a car like this you would be better off going to a Guy who has a Snap-on scanner which would give you a much better idea in detail. I have a Saab 9-3 and it does well on that hhope that helps..good luck..

**Q: will this work on 1996 Mercedes 320SL**
A: To be fair I’ve got a 62 plate AMG and this box of nothing is useless. It will tell you if your battery is charging and it will put the engine light out but that’s about it. If you need it for anything else but that then don’t bother as regards to an 1996 model it should tell you in the listing. 👎

**Q: Woud it work on fiat?**
A: Yes. OBD2 standard range for reference: USA Car Makes should be after 1996; EU Based Car Makes after 2004; Asia Car Makes after 2007.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good bit of kit for the DIY Mechanic
*by G***E on 8 December 2019*

When it arrived i opened it up and briefly scanned through the instructions, i noticed that the language (English) was OK but not brilliant, maybe a translating issue? but it all made sense, the reader appears to be of good quality and for the size it is very light. I followed the instructions to update it, but it was already loaded with the latest update, bonus. plugged into my ford focus and went through the instruction manual trying all the different options. i do have a fault of which i know about which i presume is something to do with the hole in the exhaust(replacement in the shed awaiting my attention ). It gave me the fault code and after selecting my manufacturer it came back as unrecognised or something similar. i'm a bit disappointed as the ford focus is not what you call a rare car over here in the UK. But on the whole this may be down to my lack of experience with these type of machines. As a self taught mechanic, i found that the device was easy to navigate and simple enough to use, i managed to clear my fault code after reading all the instructions and actually doing it on the device as i went. Once i have used it a few more times i'm sure my knowledge of my car will greatly improve. 4 out of 5 only due to not recognising the code (but that could just be me) Highly recommended for the average user and mechanics alike.
