Review: Great bit of kit! - Bought this because I needed to reset my VW Touran airbag light. Had replaced the stereo and then the battery died which then caused the airbag system to see low voltage and switch off. I have tried apps with Bluetooth odbII modules but none did the trick. Thought I would spend a bit of money on this due to the good reviews and figuring it is still cheaper than asking VW to reset it. This worked a treat. The instructions are a bit light on content but the device is pretty intuitive and if you are a logical thinker you will have no problems figuring it out. When resetting the airbag light I also noticed several other modules in the car had faults recorded, all due to low voltage. Now there are no lights and the car drives perfectly. Now to figure out why the stereo screen is now just white but that's another issue for another time. The screen was white before I used this, this did not cause it.
Review: Very Useful Engine Diagnostics Device For VW & Other Brands. - Very useful engine scanner, particularly for those with a VW. It helps to identify error codes stored in a car's electronic systems so that problems can be fixed more quickly and at lower cost than if the car is taken to a garage. It shows VW error codes as well as the generic ODB error codes. These can then be searched for on the internet to see how they can be solved. It doesn't pick up or identify every problem, but is well worth the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Affordable VAG scanner, helpful for the DIYer.
*by J***S on 24 October 2019*

Great product at an affordable price. Needed for replacing pads and rotors on a -11 VW Sharan. Only issue was that under the menu for EPBReplaceBrakepads you have the options to "retract and/or release brake pump" which was a bit confusing since the EPB doesn't have a "pump". Ancel instruction manual leaves alot to wish for and their support couldn't answer my question if by "pump" they meant "motor". Asked the same question here on Amazon and the seller got back to me within 12h and confirmed my suspicion that it indeed was for retracting/releasing EPB MOTOR. Worked like a charm, also cleared a fault code on the EPB module. Software update wasn't an issue, just be aware of what version you have BEFORE updating so as to get the correct new Firmware from the Ancel website. Happy with the product overall, would recommend to anyone who is in the market for an affordable VAG scanner.
