Anyone suggest a good quality code reader for the MK6 ST, thinking if carry one in car and get another limp mode I can check if there and then. Been looking at Scanguage2 but really there are for 24/7 monitoring and feedback and if you don't have the "sleep" mode set properly the ECU can keep sending it data and drain your battery !
So just want plug in and check there and then one.

Hi Steve

I use one of these:

plus the Torque app on my Android phone.

If you've got an iPhone you'll need one of these:

instead and a diagnostic app instead.

I'll have a look later at that, I don't have a smart phone.

Aah, in which case something like this will work for you:
