Vad Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hey all, So I'm basically wondering if it's worth getting a scanner? Can someone explain to me how it works, if it will be compatible with my car? Maybe even some recommendations as to which scanner to get? Sorry if these are stupid questions, this is my second ever car so I'm not exactly a mechanic or anything. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOCA Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 2004 (your listed car age) is the (with diesel- petrol cars are much earlier) crossover year for obd1/ obd2, that means an obd2 scanner may not work on your car if its an obd1 car Apart from the obd1/2 there are different protocols from different manufacturers - owners have gone to main dealers and they have been unable to read the codes! The ones i know work on obd1 and obd2 are the F-super and the Bluefin handset There is a socket under the steering column that pulls down - you plug in the scanner and read the codes - (some write them down) - you then look up the codes online/ get help/ advice on the forum - just like that.....
