ANCEL VD500 OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool for Volkswagen VW Audi Skoda Seat Diagnosis Check Engine Light EPB ABS SRS Code Reader Oil Throttle Position Adaption Brake Pad Reset

The Ancel OBD 500 scanner was easy to use. I used to retract the rear electric parking brakes on my 2016 VW Tiguan in order to replace the brakes pads. All went well, I recommend it, and the price is reasonable. JV

I bought this specifically to release the electric parking brake on a 2023 Audi Q3 so I could do the brake pad s and rotor service. This worked great both for releasing and resetting it after the job was done. This scanner, brake pads and rotors (all Bosch) were under $300.00. Audi wanted $1300.00 to do accomplish the same service. It’s easy to do, Do it yourself and save your money!

This is a MUST have for any AUDI owner. Reads codes, eliminates them if needed, and resets oil life, duration, and the infamous Service reminder that the dealership boasts only they can do for $50. Completely pays for itself within a year.

Worked great just not for my vehicle

Wow for the price I paid for this I saved a couple hundred bucks at the dealership This has a lot of useful features very pleased

Good buy. Needed the EPB to do a brake & rotor job. Save you the time. Easy to use. Reset functions were second to none better than any scanner I've used in the past.

I purchased this device mainly for replacing my brake pads on my VW-Arteon,( front & rear ), and as many other newer models, my car has a electric parking brake which I needed to retract with a device like this. When I got the device delivered I was surprised from the quality and the feeling when I pulled it out of the box, given that this brand wasn’t so famous to me, but could be something famous in Europe, I don’t know 🤷. It’s made in China, though as most of the things nowadays, but so far is of a good quality, and worked perfectly for me! I was able to retract the electric parking brake ( the metal axle inside the pistons ), so later when you need to press the pistons and to install the new brake pads, nothing stays on your way and it was easy and like you don’t have electric parking brake to deal with it. Now something important to remember when you use the device for the first time? So when you use the device for the first time , make sure and put the car in contact first ( the ignition ON ), then plug it in while the ignition is still on “ON” position without starting the engine. I did it in reverse, I plugged in the device first, then I pressed the ignition button on, and the device didn’t show and didn’t want to do anything, and I was scared and thought that the device it doesn’t work on my car, so again, ignition ON fits, then plug in the device, and it will work perfectly. I highly recommend the product, especially at the discounted price that I got it in Amazon!

I bought this to reset the annoying "Inspection Due" message on my 2018 Audi A4 Quattro which would appear at every startup and shutdown. It worked as advertised. It did take a few tries to achieve, but it worked in the end. I had to open the hood for it to reset the message as the scanner told me to do.

Ottimo per avvicinarsi alla diagnostica elettronica delle auto. Non è uno strumento professionale (ma per quel che costa va più che bene), ma in ogni caso fa il suo lavoro e lo fa come si deve. Robusto e compatto quanto basta, copre tutti i più diffusi protocolli OBD (quindi va bene per qualsiasi auto con presa diagnostica dal 2000 in poi, forse qualcuna anche prima) e ha il "bonus" dell compatibilità anche con le più utili funzioni specifiche "VAG" (Gruppo VW-Audi), rendendo informazioni più specifiche e dettagliate per queste auto. Lo uso principalmente sulla mia A6 Avant del 2001, ma ho avuto modo di testarlo anche su diverse altre auto (anche di altre marche) ed finora restituisce tutti i codici d' errore corretti, permettendo anche la loro cancellazione. Nota: funziona tranquillamente "out of the box", ma è consigliabile fare l'aggiornamento del firmware: basta creare un account sul sito anceltech, accedere alla sezione download specifica per l'apparecchio, scaricare il pacchetto di installazione e lanciare il setup dopo aver collegato lo scanner al computer con il cavo USB in dotazione. In 10 minuti è tutto fatto.

Works pretty well, had trouble with Skoda VRS variation.

Ich habe mir den ANCEL VD500 speziell für meinen VW (funktioniert auch für Audi, Skoda, Seat) zugelegt und bin absolut zufrieden. Während günstige Standard-Scanner oft nur das Motorsteuergerät auslesen, kommt dieses Gerät tief in die herstellerspezifischen Systeme der VAG-Gruppe. Besonders hilfreich sind die Spezialfunktionen für den Heimgebrauch: Ich konnte problemlos die Wartungsintervallanzeige (Öl-Service) zurücksetzen und die elektronische Parkbremse (EPB) für den Bremsenwechsel in die Serviceposition fahren. Auch die Drosselklappen-Anpassung funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Bedienung ist herrlich "old school": Kein Akku, der leer sein kann (Strom kommt direkt über den OBD-Port), und keine komplizierte App-Verbindung. Einfach einstecken und über die Tasten navigieren. Das Gehäuse ist zudem gummiert und wirkt sehr robust, ideal für die Werkstattumgebung. Vorteile: + Spezialisiert auf VAG-Fahrzeuge (VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat) + Kann Service-Resets durchführen und Parkbremsen öffnen + Liest alle wichtigen Systeme wie ABS, Airbag und Getriebe aus + Robustes Design und einfache Handhabung ohne App/Handy Nachteile: - Bei Fahrzeugen anderer Marken (nicht VAG) sind nur Basis-Motor-Diagnosen möglich -

Lo usé para borrar fallo del airbag en mi Skoda Octavia II, concretamente el fallo del sensor lateral en puerta del conductor. En mi caso, pese a haberle cambiado el sensor del airbag, seguía saliendo el fallo y pensé que con la máquina se lo iba a poder borrar, y se borraba, pero al encender nuevamente volvía a salir. Así que después de investigar localicé el fallo, y era que el cable que pasa por la puerta estaba cortado (adjunto foto), no sé como, supongo del calor los cables se pasan y de abrir y cerrar durante años se parte, ya que por lo visto es bastante común que ocurra, así que tenedlo en cuenta si tenéis el mismo fallo y no cometáis mi error pensando que era el sensor que además es un tostón acceder a él. Esto sin embargo es sencillísimo de arreglar, simplemente quitar el protector de goma, soldar el cable y listo. Y entonces es cuando borramos el fallo con la máquina y ya no aparece más. La verdad es un aparato muy útil y te puedes ahorrar un buen dinero en talleres y diagnósticos erróneos, es muy fácil de usar, los menús están en inglés, pero el manual en español. Sin duda, más que satisfecho con la compra. ---- 18-10-2022---- El otro día lo probé en mi Honda Accord Tourer VII i-ctdi para borrar fallo de motor (P1248 Y P2138 "acelerador"), pensaba que no sería compatible, pero fue grata mi sorpresa al comprobar que sí funciona con este coche y además borró el fallo sin problemas. Con lo cual otro 10 para este Ancel VD500 que siempre me saca de apuros :)

it works but not as expected or advertised, found some codes and some others were not found untill taken to a garage. vehicle: VW golf mk6 r with cdl engine.
