Hi,

can anyone recommend a good fault code reader and EML reset tool for a 2001 Bug WRX?

Cheers!

I got one from ebay for £20.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-...item2ebcb354d1

Plug it in switch on the ignition, and it starts reading. select to view and look up the code in the book and then erase.

Takes about it 2 mins to look up and erase.

Thanks buddy! I've just purchased the same.

Each time I was asking ebay sellers if the tools would work on my scooby, every single one said they were not sure/didnt know!

Cheers again mate
