OBD fault scanner which one
I have a Konnwei KW808 OBDII/EOBD scanner which I bought last year to use on my fiat ulysee w reg and even though a few functions did not work it did what i needed it to do, now I have A Citroen C8 2.0 ltr 136 BHP which is a 96 plate and it seems according to the Ebay seller I bought this scanner off that it does not work with Diesel vehicles so anyone recommend an OBD scanner that I can use with the C8 diesel vehicle.

Re: OBD fault scanner which one
The cars from Peugeot and Citroen do not always communicate in a standard format, so what you need to do is to get a decent Lexia clone. They are not cheap (compared to generic code readers), but they can do a whole lot more.

Re: OBD fault scanner which one
Yer already seen the Lexia scanners and probably will get one as these things always pay for themselves in the long run.
