I am wanting to know what the best OBD II, scan/clear tool is for engine codes.

I have a heap of DTC's stored (went through the Read Button/Fog light twice thing). I am trying to find why my check engine like comes on. Instead of
using a crystal ball to check, I though I would invest in a decent, and decent priced scan tool to do the trick

I see Supercheap sell an acton scan tool. The data sheet says 2002+ onwards for v70 model. But I can't see too much of a change between 2001 & 2002.

-Url for Scan too, so you can have a look at what I am on about.

Yes I have thought about getting VADIS/VIDIS & Dice of Ebay, but something
that's a cheap knockoff doesn't sit right with me.

We picked up the V70 for $500, after a "mechanic" got his hands on it. Central locking wasn't working, and a lot of other things that had to get put back together. I'm placing bets on a faulty HO2 (Lambda Sond) sensor being faulty. But I'd rather have the equipment to check.

Thanks for any info you can give

 

Will an Actron CP9575 work?
