$60 vs $4,000 Chinese Diagnostic Tool to Fix a Dead v10 Audi S6

1. Just to clarify one thing:
   At one point I say "Topscan is the First (that I've found) All System, Bluetooth Style Scanner, that works on Most Makes and Models…"
   Up to now, every Bluetooth Scanner I've used either has VERY LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY on Most Makes and Models OR
   has Full System Scan Capabilities on VERY Select Makes and Models…

   Basically Topscan filled the major gaps that generally come with Bluetooth Tools AND it Costs Way Less than many others. Plus its an additional 5% on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4cUiY42
   USE CODE ✅ Topscan0718

2. Can you do dealer-level diagnostics with this? Do they offer a service desk for when issues arise? Does it have a possibility to make logging to figure out the issues on a lower down level?
   As a diagnostic engineer I know well how the internals of various dealer tools work. And trust me, there is a major difference. Especially when it comes to the non-standard functionalities. I own several OEM diagnostic tools privately, 9 brands now, worth probably 100k. Most were ex-testing tools or demonstration packages. I sometimes lend them to local workshops. In practice we've found that there is certainly a quality difference to (most!) aftermarket stuff. Programming success rate simply is higher, monitoring signals read much more stable etc. Tools using D-PDU API, instead of J2534 are the best usually.

   Now if I could recommend a tool (for EU) I'd get the Texa. Price vs. quality is good and it were really professional engineers. We once did a validation of their VCI to see whether it was an option to offer to our customers. We found a few but very little bugs. Couldn't say that of most other brands..

3. a lot of good info here. please do us all a favor and straighten your sunglasses when you are looking directly into the camera. kind of crooked and annoying.

4. Sir the motor V10 Audi repair ?

5. Gonzalez Michelle Lee Ronald Lewis Dorothy

6. Fix your crooked glasses. 😂

7. What about ThinkDiag OBD II mini?
   I'm sure SAMCRAC is not gonna reply but may be someone else would guide? I need a SCANNER for my personal car 2015 VW Jetta. May be i change in future but will but some 2016-2018 coz I'm not a rich person

8. Problem with dealers is they wont proceed to do anything without that 300 quid diagnostic, regardless of what you know or tell them, so you don't save 60 bucks, unless you happen to be a mechanic.

9. Jahovah and his son are blessing you

10. Thank you

11. Electronically controlled motor mounts- this sh!t is mindblowing. The lenghts these germans are going to make a car simply unrepairable by anyone else but them. And not even them sometimes. This is german car crap at it's finest.

12. Dude most of this video is those 3 scanner commercials… wtf?!?

13. Can we change menu languages of Japanese car with this tool

14. Truly excellent information. And your examples and demos help immensely. Great professional video. Thanks a bunch.

15. i use the autel scanners for key programming and key module programming they work well they also have universal fobs you can program to a car in a emergency with out acually getting a vehicle specific key from like Amazon right away

16. Where have you been Sam?

17. Topscan pro has an immobilizer also so you can make new keys also.

18. Marketing video here. Your previous vid had a misleading title. I'm seeing a pattern.

19. Great review on tools thanks.

20. Has the law finally court up to you Sam

21. 4 weeks come on Sam we need some new content

22. Sam, Sam, Sam, where are the vids? 😀

23. Why do you put your project videos and more videos on Facebook and not here on YouTube?
    Facebook videos has a horrible interface and is really bad to cast to TVs as well.

24. That's a group Vag car, you could diagnose that with a Casio clock and some aligator clips…

25. more vids on diagnostic tools and generally on the modules found on a modern car and how to reprogram then and why and when it`s necessary to do so .

26. Too bad the key programming tool doesn't work for Mercedes Benz cars. We're at the mercy of the dealer for that one.

27. Sam what’s up how come I haven’t seen any videos from you in a few weeks

28. Yes, you are absolutely right saying that manufacturers install components like sensors in impossible places, so you can't get to them and for a small and cheap part you have to disassemble half the engine. I recently had such a case with a Nissan Rogue SV 2017 2.5 l. Check engine code was 2004- IMRC stock open bank 1. The problem was Int manifold runner position sensor which is installed in the lower left part of the intake manifold, you can't get to the sensor without removing the complete manifold. Of course the sensor is worth $30 – $150 on the market or at the dillers is around 300 dollars , the entire manifold is about 600 – 700 dollars, add to that over 700 dollars for work and installation with tax comes to 1,500 dollars. Fortunately, and with a lot of work around disassembly and assembly, with a new manifold repair costs $900. You see what kind if shit are new cars today , like my Nissan Rogue with only 50k miles , not to mention paint clear coat being almost entirely piled off. Don't buy junk !

29. Excellent video! We've worked with TopDon on our channels for coming up on three years and they have only gotten better and more comprehensive with coverage, diagnostic capabilities and value; definitely worth a look if you are buying one soon 👍

30. 3 weeks and no new video…… who approved that vaccination?

31. Samcrac will buy a junk vehicle and make it fun fix! He's calm and work with complete ease, what a great guy💯👍

32. I HAD TO REPROGRAM MY KEY BECAUSE MY A8 SAT TO LONG ABOUT 3 WEEKS

33. Sam, just bought an Audi S5 2011 as an extra vehicle. I want to do as much work as I can myself. Thanks for the video. Any other suggestions?

34. New video missing since last 2 weeks bro

35. Cute tool, still can’t make a key for my bmw

36. Hi Sam. Love your channel. I'm in Australia and wondered if the top scan works on Holden's and Hyundai's.

37. I watched this video after you posted and went out and bought it since I have 4 vehicles I needed spares for. Got it 2 days ago and I cannot believe it only has explorers to 2019! My wife has a 2020, the new body style. Ridiculous you spend 500$ and it doesn't have a vehicle 4 model years ago. The t ninja pro

38. Obdeleven is great too. Bern using it for years

39. Can that cheap tool also check if the mileage is correct?

40. I been staring at Amazon for an hour now…Topscan or Ad600 ?😩 i have the 2014 Range Rover l405 as well and a prius 💡

41. If you have a Ford or Lincoln get forscan sonftware for free and a 20 dollar USB to odb2 and you can do All of the functions

42. Thanks Sam … great walkthrough and this really narrowed down the scanners that I'm now looking at … 👍

43. what type of scope camera is that

44. I have the one called Fixd, really helpfull but yeah, suscriptions suck

45. Blue driver

46. Doesn't work on maserati granturismo

47. Why are we not putting thermostats in the middle of the engine by this day and age? But why would you not fix that engine?
