I'm looking for a fault code reader for my early 2003 MK2. It's a 1.9 diesel non-turbo. I've looked around in several places but any of the ones I looked at don't cover pre 2004 diesel models. Can anyone recommend a suitable fault code reader?

Had one hell of a job finding one that would communicate with my 54 plate 2.0HDI. Have a looksy at some of my older postings.......Finally got one for about £18.00 off e-bay on someone else's reccomendation on forum. You pays your money, you makes your choice.

Just be careful if you have an early diesel Bingo.
Yes, works ok at getting basic engine fault codes and resetting MIL light, does not give VIN details and mine ain't got ABS. So after sitting on the fence for ages, somebody else on here had bought one and I followed suit for about £18...
