BHM 994 Posted November 13, 2019 Am I missing something, what’s special about it? It’s just another generic OBD reader isn’t it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metcars 397 Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Wouldn't run on my old Vista 'diagnostics' laptop? Might have to upgrade that. Wow is great value but having to use a laptop in and around the car is a pain. Which brings me to, why bother doing a grand on a laptop just to run cheap diagnostics software when you can purchase a reasonable 'all makes' diagnostics system with a purpose built tablet that can be used as such for the same money?

Mark101 536 Posted November 13, 2019 My Autel already does far more than I am capable of processing myself. I simply pull the code and google what it is, then pass to the tech to fit/fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D&M 66 Posted November 13, 2019 Was going to buy the WOW Wurth. Downloaded the software online - a few days later the laptop screen went black and a skull and crossbones came up. Had to had the harddrive wiped and re-installed. Also had to be quizzed if we ues this computer for downloading porn! No, it was dodgy software.... Yeah, I wonder how many times the computer guy has heard that before Seriously, we've got a handheld Autel and that is enough for us. The machine is only as good as the operator 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guys next door to me have a Snap-on thingy which is a bit more in-depth.... but some problems still need to go to a steeler for me to be bent over....
