Find the OBD scanner compatible with your Volkswagen

You want to buy a diagnostic scanner for your and be sure that it will work with your Volkswagen. Several thousand OBD2-compatible vehicles have been tested by our customers with klavkarr. Make sure yours is one of them!

Which Volkswagen diagnostic scanner should I choose?

Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with electronic features. In some car brands, there are dozens of calculators reading sensor data. Electronics improve safety and comfort, reduce consumption and pollution in cars, but also complicate troubleshooting.

Therefore, it is absolutely important to have an efficient OBD2 diagnostic tool to quickly identify the origin and cause of vehicle breakdowns.

Most of the time, the scanner will give you an error code for the problem that allows you to trace back to the faulty part. The cost of the klavkarr is recouped with the first use compared to a diagnostic check at the garage!
