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. Review: Straightforward fault diagnosis - I purchased this to identify the fault causing the engine management light to come up on my 64 plate 1.6TDi Golf. A cheaper device did not detect any faults. Plugged in to the cars OBD2 connection straight out of the box, scanned for OBD fault codes and the Ancel VD500 found the fault code immediately, along with a description. It was an open circuit on a glow plug, nothing on the emission system that was going to cost hundreds of pounds. A quick check with a multimeter confirmed that the glow plug was open circuit. New glow plug £8.50 and a 10 minute job to change. The main dealer would have charged £60 to identify the fault alone. Used the Ancel to clear the fault and drove away. Fault has not come back. The cars handbook leads you to believe that this could be an expensive fault - it fails to mention that the fault could also be caused by a defective glow plug or glow plug circuit. I updated the Ancel,using the instructions provided, and the latest download from the website. This failed the first time only because I didn't read the instructions properly. Remember to update the main file and the Flash file. I have also used this to check for fault codes on two other family cars, both VWs. Only took a few minutes and found no fault codes. One of the cars is an automatic & the Ancel picked this up straight away and gave the option of scanning the automatic transmission for faults. All in all an essential piece of kit that will save you money the first time you use it & not let a garage fleece you. Not used it to reset service/oil change yet. ## Features - The ANCEL VD500 OBD2 scanner is specifically designed to diagnose Volkswagen Group (VW/Audi/Skoda/ SEAT) 12-volt 16-pin vehicles, but can also be used with other 12-volt (non-Volkswagen) vehicles manufactured in 2000 or later that are OBD II -compliant with standard 16-pin OBD II protocols (J1850 VPM, J1850PWM, ISO9141, KWP 2000 and CAN).

I've used it on Fords, VW vans and an Audi TT and it has identified the faults accurately. The instructions are written in a Chinese dialect but you can easily follow them as the tool itself is straightforward to use. the hardest part is finding the diagnostic socket on the vehicle! It's accurate, but not precise, so it'll tell you that, say, an exhaust sensor is showing a fault but it won't necessarily tell you what is causing the fault or whether the sensor itself is at fault. It points you in the right direction though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ancel VD500 OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool for Volkswagen VW Audi Skoda Seat Diagnosis Check Engine Light EPB ABS SRS Code Reader Oil Throttle Position Adaption Brake Pad Reset - ANCEL Protective Case Storage Bag for OBD2 Scanner Code Reader Diagnostic Scan Tool Battery Tester --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/65581228-ancel-vd500-obd2-diagnostic-scanner-fit-for-volkswagen-vw-audi](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/65581228-ancel-vd500-obd2-diagnostic-scanner-fit-for-volkswagen-vw-audi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-05*
