Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey Everybody, Can somebody recommend a good diagnostic tool for my 2001 996 Carrera 4? I just want a tool that does basic diagnostics and reset airbag lights...etc. My budget is around $200 Thanks!

POST 2Original post

At the $200 price point your best choice is a Durametric (think they start at around $250) It will reset your airbag light

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sounds good. Thank you for the reply.

POST 4Original post

^^ The Durametric "enthusiast" version (can use on up to 3 Vin's) will run you about $300 ($287+ shipping). If you want unlimited Vin's and the limited ability to program certain modules you'll want the "PRO" version which runs around $700 http://www.durametric.com/

POST 5Original post

I picked up a Foxwell NT510 for around $149. It does the airbag reset and lots more. I'm sure the Durametric is a ton better, but it wasn't worth the price premium to me.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
