does yours have OBDII then ? cant remember what year your motor is :undecided:

not seen them before but seen similar... just dishes out the error codes, then you need to go on the web and find out what the error code means.

Geniscan GS200 Code Reader is a palm-sized portable scan tool for diagnosis based on VW's proprietary diagnostic protocol (ISO 9141-2 and ISO 14230-4 (KWP2000)) It is specially designed for do-it-yourself customers and even professional mechanics to determine VW/AUDI problems. Unlike a generic OBD-II scan tool that can only communicate with the engine of an OBD-II compliant (1996 or newer) VW or Audi, this powerful smart device can talk to numerous other intelligent systems of ABS, Airbags, and Automatic Transmission in the car in addition to the engine. What is more, it can communicate with pre-1996 models (not OBD-II compliant) vehicles. :huh:
