Suitable OBD2 Scanner
Hi All,
I am writing from Scotland where my 2003 3.2S has just illuminated the CEL for the first time. Don't suspect anything too serious. Probably a misfire / coilpack etc, but obviously need to download the codes for remedial attention. Reading various other threads the favoured scanner in U.S. appears to be Actron 9180. This is not readily available in the U.K. and looks infinitely superior to other cheaper alternatives available through Ebay UK etc. Any comments or recommendations before I source from U.S. at approx $130 + $ 45 shipping. Thanks for your help. Stuart. |

For general use, the Actron is probably the better value because of its universal applications. |
I just received my Durametric scanner last week - shipped from the US to Australia in less than a week.
Works really well & service was excellent from Durametric when inquiring about their product. |
The best OBD2 scanner I used so far was one I borrowed from a co-worker. Saved myself $80. I think I bought him a beer.
Ask around before spending the money. |
While I agree with Vath that free is a great price, having one of your own in the garage can be priceless when the light pops on at 11:30PM... especially if you have insomnia like mine that's just itching for any reason to keep you awake.

The durametric and others mentioned are fine scanners, but will put you back a few £££.
If you just want a simple scanner to retrieve codes and reset most (but not all), then I suggest the Actron 9125. Here is the euro version of it - Code Scanner It's cheap and compact - small enough to keep in the car w/o being a nuisance. :cheers: |
+1 on the Actron 9125. It won't tie your shoes in the morning but it is a good bang for the buck/pound/sterling/euro. :cheers:

actron 9125 capability
so will this handy little tool deal with service reminder reset? as well as coade clearing on the boxster?
