I bought a scan tool from Harbor Freight this past week. I spent about $70 after the 20% coupon I found in a mustang magazine.

The reader found that I needed a new coolant temp sensor and I was able to clear some old codes I had flagged while doing a compression check. It also reads VW specific codes and transmission codes as well. For my needs which is just occasional, the scanner is more than adequate.

I got it right off the shelf at the local HF. I have heard fantastic things about the VAG-COM scanner which a lot of VW enthusiasts use but it was nearly 3x's as expensive. I just couldnt justify the purchase considering my frequency or rather infrequency of use.
