Bought to reset my engine management light on my 2001 BMW Z3. ...Nicely constructed in its own case. Detailed instruction book. Connect to OBD port and plug 'n' play. Identified same fault as my local garage diagnosed. Was able to reset and turn warning light off. Clearly can be used to diagnose many other engine functions. Use it once and you will save money what your garage will charge.

I don't do many miles and servic...e my car annually. Hence, a service now reminder appears on my dashboard months after my service. I bought this device to switch off this unnecessary warning which annoys; rather than drive back to my servicing garage to have them turn it off. I plugged the device into the diagnostic port. I followed the stages but the section I needed called MIL if memory serves was permanently on off. No matter what I tried , I could not turn this to -on. The diagnostic never identified my warning problem , which still comes on every time I turn on the ignition on the car. I cannot truly answer if it is good quality or good value. It might be for somebody else or it it might just scroll through a preset sequence and not be diagnosing the car at all. How would I know?

A really nice surprise to receive something that far exce...eds expectation. This unit comes well packaged in its own carry case with full picture instructions which make it a doddle to use. It powers up from the car itself so no batteries required and was simple and intuitive to use. The recurring engine management light on my Audi is related to emissions and periodically activates. This unit has paid for itself on day one as it has saved me the cost of a diagnostic test at my local garage. It’s a brilliant bit of kit and well worth the money.

Good little tool, not the most informative but tells you what yo...u need to know. Good value for money for anyone that can do work on their own car, pays for itself in the first use. Mixed reviews but works fine on dodge caliber, can't comment on reliability as not had it long but would recommend to anyone that needs a quick and easy diagnosis

The Vgate has been used to mana...ge a problem of repeated Ford Focus (MK2 2008) "Engine Management" warnings that put the engine into "cripple" mode. I am impressed by the quality and the ease of use of the fault-code-reader. Previously each occurrence had been cleared by the local garage by working-clearing the Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) and resetting clearing the fault code. Eventually, a new (not OEM) DPF was fitted, after a few months the same warnings started to re-occur, despite the precaution of a weekly "20 minute burn up the motorway" to regenerate the DPF. Vgate VS890 was purchased, the fault code determined and then the ECU fault memory cleared using the Vgate. Then after the next "20 minute burn up the motorway", Vgate was used again to clear ECU's fault memory. The combined burn-up plus fault clear process, seems to have cured the fault, for the moment.
