Hi all,
Can you point me to a good cheap OBDII scanner and associated software to use.
Reason for wanting is because of illness my driving habits have to be curtailed somewhat and what I will need it for is to perform passive regens, its a diesel and I dont want to screw the dpf up. So good scanner and software to perform the task outline above.
Thanks for any replies in advance.

Cheers, Darfash

Couple of previous threads may help. These are dongles that plug into OBD2 port and go for one that links to phone/tablet by Bluetooth rather than one that links by creating its own wifi neteork

OBD-II Scanners

There have been a few requests on the forum for recommendations for OBD-II dongles and scanners and I had an email today that has a review of some with recommendations...

OBD Reader Recommendations, please

Now that my Yeti (2015 1.2 TSi DSG) is over six years old, I think I ought to get an OBD reader, as I expect to start getting the occasional fault developing from now on. Can anyone recommend a brand and model (or warn me off one!) that will cover the whole gamut of expected problems...

You're probably after the app VAGDPF which only runs on Android phones (not Apple) and needs an ELM327 compatible I believe.

If you enter VAGDPF into the forum search more will come up.

Vag dpf does not let you force regens.
