Has any body used a autel maxiscan ms309?
I'm wondering because I think my idle controll valve is packing up but I want to be certain, without involving a garage and there fees
Or is there otheres I can buy good and cheap?
Cheers!!!!

I just replaced my ICV today using a cheap ebay part (£20) and so far it's been working fine. What problems are you having? My engine management light would flash on and off and the car would randomly judder while driving and the idle revs would sometimes bounce up and down... Does this sound familiar?

I found the problem with mine! According to my cack laptop the interface driver hasn't installed!!
I'll have to hunt online and see if I can find a downloadale one
Is it worth getting the other code reader? Or will it not work atall?
