Did just what I needed it to do.
Now, I've only used the reader once, and it has, I hope, identified my car's problem. I got an ABS warning light come up on my Polo dash, and panicked. It's a £250 car, but with only 30,000 miles on it. An ABS pump costs £800+! My old code reader didn't find anything, (It's paid for itself already, though, having identified a coolant temperature sensor as the cause of the car's failure to start)) and delving into the rear hub assemblies and cleaning the (huge quantities of) brake dust from the reluctor rings and wheel speed sensors didn't achieve anything. Experience with cleaning up previous cars' wheel speed sensor assemblies had led me to be optimistic... My local VW specialist had disappointed me in the past (costing me two days pay to diagnose what transpired to be a common, easily diagnosable fault, and charging £80 to replace a 50p component...) so I avoid them now I'm retired and have more time, less money. The unit itself seems reasonably robust, easy to use, and has a clear display (though I, stupidly, didn't follow the menu correctly, and didn't get my diagnosis immediately...) It wouldn't read my VW's VIN number, which was disappointing, but my previous reader wouldn't, either. whereas it would read the SAAB's VIN... The Ancel said I'd got a faulty rear offside wheel speed sensor, which made sense, and saved me investigating all four corners by substitution. I'll come back when the ABS light has gone, and the car's passed its next MOT (imminent, and adding to my stress levels...) Looking good so far, though. Just came back to say that I fitted a £10 Delphi wheel speed sensor bought on ebay, and connected it temporarily to the loom under the rear seat, allowing me to erase the fault and extinguish the warning light, showing that that particular wheel sensor was the root of my problem. Sensor's properly installed, now, cable routed and connected, and car's been road tested. Marvellous! One job and the scanner's paid for itself as far as I'm concerned.

Ottimo strumento
All'inizio ho provato a resettare un service periodico, ma essendo in inglese avevo saltato delle informazioni e niente...mi sono detto : forse ha bisogno di un aggiornamento (ho una Audi Q3 sportback del 2021), così dal manuale delle istruzioni (in Italiano) sono andato nel sito e ho scaricato/installato l'aggiornamento in lingua italiana/inglese. Poi sono andato di nuovo nella macchina e col menù in italiano ho visto che nelle vetture VW / Audi dopo il 2019 hanno creato un firewall di sicurezza per accessi esterni alla centralina (devi disabilitarlo momentaneamente alzando il cofano della macchina), alzato il cofano e rifatto il reset tutto è andato alla perfezione. Ci sono dentro tante impostazioni per variare parametri o disabilitare sensori ecc. oltre poter cancellare cod. d'errore del motore.....mi sembra un buon acquisto.

Funciona perfectamente en Skoda Octavia II y Honda Accord Tourer VII
Lo usé para borrar fallo del airbag en mi Skoda Octavia II, concretamente el fallo del sensor lateral en puerta del conductor. En mi caso, pese a haberle cambiado el sensor del airbag, seguía saliendo el fallo y pensé que con la máquina se lo iba a poder borrar, y se borraba, pero al encender nuevamente volvía a salir. Así que después de investigar localicé el fallo, y era que el cable que pasa por la puerta estaba cortado (adjunto foto), no sé como, supongo del calor los cables se pasan y de abrir y cerrar durante años se parte, ya que por lo visto es bastante común que ocurra, así que tenedlo en cuenta si tenéis el mismo fallo y no cometáis mi error pensando que era el sensor que además es un tostón acceder a él. Esto sin embargo es sencillísimo de arreglar, simplemente quitar el protector de goma, soldar el cable y listo. Y entonces es cuando borramos el fallo con la máquina y ya no aparece más. La verdad es un aparato muy útil y te puedes ahorrar un buen dinero en talleres y diagnósticos erróneos, es muy fácil de usar, los menús están en inglés, pero el manual en español. Sin duda, más que satisfecho con la compra. ---- 18-10-2022---- El otro día lo probé en mi Honda Accord Tourer VII i-ctdi para borrar fallo de motor (P1248 Y P2138 "acelerador"), pensaba que no sería compatible, pero fue grata mi sorpresa al comprobar que sí funciona con este coche y además borró el fallo sin problemas. Con lo cual otro 10 para este Ancel VD500 que siempre me saca de apuros :)
