What Diagnostic tool are people using?

[Rob Kelly]

I'm looking to buy an OBD2 reader for my 2010 Leon. Can anyone recommend a good one? I can use a laptop and adapter if its better.

 

[Rob Kelly]

This would do other cars too apparently, anyone had any experience with it?

Evening,

I currently have this

https://obdeleven.com/en/content/7-app-and-features

If you buy the pro app (android only) and their dingle I think its comes in at around £60 it will do pretty much everything you'll need.

If you want everything you'll need a laptop and VCDS by Ross tech but it's well over double the price.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,] for the quick response, that's not a bad price at all. Is it manufacturer specific? or can it be used on a variety of cars?

It should work with any Audi, VW, SEAT, Skoda from 1991 to 2018 I think, basically anything from the VAG group.

Have a read of their website and double check everything as I got mine a whole ago.

Hope that helps

OK great. I had a read up on the website and it seems to be able to do what i need so i've ordered one.

Thanks

Just to add to this there is a helpful link section on this forum here https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/obd-eleven-how-and-where-to.443994/ if you find any good sites for coding / tips / general info please share and upate.

Enjoy playing and before you start take a backup of your car that way you always have a stock settings backup to revert to.

vcds 17.1.3 (clone) and bluetooth ELM327 constantly plugged in to check on the go

Thanks for all your replies. I bought the OBDeleven and it works fine, except the car had no error codes.
Can i get live data with it as i'm thinking it could be a pressure sensor on the common rail, low pressure pump is fine, relays all replaced and air bled from system but car cuts out when foot off throttle and slowing down.

 

[Deleted member 103408]

Yes you can get live data, when you select your control unit there are a number of options
Select the Live data one and you will get a long list of things it will bring you live data for.

example below that highlights long coding

 

[Rob Kelly]

Ah ok, mines saying i need the pro version. Just checking their website and they say there should be an activation code in the box. I'll check this when i get home. Cheers.

 

[Deleted member 103408]

If you bought the pro version and there is not code then just use the online help function and tell them and they will sort it out for you.

It speeds things up if you can confirm when you paid and any references you have with that payment.

 

[Deleted member 103408]

oh and as you are just starting out make sure that each day you watch the stupid adverts so that you can get 6 credits a day to use on some of the apps that you might like on your car.

 

[Rob Kelly]

Actually, just checking i don't think i bought the pro as i only paid 40 euros. I'm going to buy the 24 euro pro upgrade.

 

[Rob Kelly]

Haha, ok i'll watch the adverts.

 

[Deleted member 103408]

dont tell anybody but you dont have to watch them, just let them run you also get one credit a day just for logging on to the app. Once you get used to it you wont use them (I have over 2000 credits which i only ever use for testing) but it is nice to get stuff done to the car without having to work out what to do.
Enjoy

 

[Rob Kelly]

Ok cheers for that. How do i back up the car up initially?
