Determing cars on which it works The description of this product says that it works on "most" cars. How can I find out in advance if it will works on my car--a 1997 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon? It would be just my like that mine would be one of the few it will not fit. Also, I see only one post trying to verify that the pump mechanism does in fact clean out all sludge while several claim it simply cannot. However, the one that claims it did a good job actually tested it; the others did not. I'd like to hear from more people on this issue.

the legacy GT thread is the same as the Honda thread for the filter. This kit will work for your car. However... your filter is so easy to get at anyway, why would you want to relocate? You don't even have to jack up the car.I have tested this system extensively, actually involved in the development of it when I worked at Spectre 2 years ago. It is true that the pump will not remove ALL the sludge, neither will an oil change at your local grease monkey! Sludge is exactly that, "sludgy" thick goop that develops over time. Automotive oils have a certain amount of detergent added to help reduce this over time. You cannot get away from it using any method of changing your oil. the legacy GT thread is the same as the Honda thread for the filter. This kit will work for your car.

But is there a place that lists the applications for this item? I've been to spectreperformance.com, but there's nothing there on part number 5971.

Great job on this answer. It is much appreciated. Hopefully you are getting some royalties from the manufacturer because you should.

Not me, but I have used it on my Chevy Equinox and my Subaru Legacy, and it works fine on both cars, one being a hatchback and the other has a trunk.

As I have read on car forums the "VAG-COM" was designed for Audi / VW, but also happens to work on Subaru. I would recommend you read or join a Chrysler / Dodge forum. (a Chrysler anything still on the road from 1995?, that is like the last unicorn.)

I used it on a much older Honda Civic and it worked wonderfully well. Sorry I can't be more helpful and sorry I didn't see your request earlier. You probably solved your problem some time ago.

I thought the extender would probably work on many cars until I rented a 2014 Subaru Legacy and found that it did not fit that car. It fits my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. So obviously there is no certain answer for every given car.

Hi; I think this a "hit or miss" proposition. I received a unit that did not work with my 2003 Honda Accord. I then worked with their customer service to get a replacement sent, and that one works. Plus, in reading other reviews, I came to the conclusion this scanner appears to have trouble with older vehicles (pre 2004 ?), and not so much the newer (post 2005 ?) vehicles. The return policy is you have to pay return shipping to China, which far exceeds the cost of the scanner. So, if you buy the scanner and it does not work, you may need to be prepared to "contact seller" to try to get a replacement (as I did). Did you try the BAFX scanner? That brand worked the first time in my Honda.

It works on any car. I use it on my Infiniti FX35 as well as my Toyota Corolla Station Wagon. It's just that the higher the car the steeper the slope. So for some with really high trucks, you might need a longer ramp. For me, it is perfect.

Probably only the name. I can tell mine works perfect (with the Nissan name on it). And the Nissan Leaf is a dream car.

YES...!!! The Handheld unit works on anything !!! The temperature of the steam hitting the item depends solely upon the distance between the item and the machine. This unit is excellent in the car on upholstery spots, carpet spots and all around the dashboard. Obviously, if you hold it over delicate items, like the walnut veneer in your Bentley, you could quickly do some serious damage. The answer is to only apply enough heat, (steam) as needed to loosen the dirt. In most cases, it is best to use an old kitchen-size towel to wipe the area quickly after steaming. If the cleaning solution tank runs out before the water tank, it will continue to do the job. I have noticed that without the cleaning solution, the brushes tend to get dirty. I have never used anything that could clean the dash on my BMW as well as this unit.

I originally purchased this item because it specifically said it worked with all hot wheels (I kept all of my 33 years old son's). When you keep the track straight there is no problem, but we added a loop feature and only some of the cars will make it around the loop and continue to the end of the track. My grandson still loves it, he is 21/2 years old and he just knows some of the cars won't go around but others do.

Is my understand that it works for every car with ODB III, My is a Porsche 2002 and Jeep Cherocke 2008. Worked on both!

I can only say that this worked for my 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix. Check the number against the application chart. I still had to have the seller change out 3 units to find the ones that would function properly.

Its really pot luck as to which vehicles it will work. Autel promotes all its functions as being useful on virtually all newer vehicles. It is not. My experience was that it bricked the TPMS ECU on a 2010 Subaru and the bidirectional capability it is supposed to have for a Toyotas was not so much. The only way you are going to know is to buy it, try it and return it if it is unsatisfactory.

It did not work for my Volvo S70 wagon...unless I would of gone to the dealer. Then it would of cost me more money that way. Don't go there!

My best suggestion is to contact the seller BEFORE purchasing to confirm if it will. It did not work on my 2002 Corolla although the product description said it would. The seller was the one to tell me that not all the info was right in the description although he had tried to change it. He was VERY pleasant to deal with.:) Just saw that the seller has already answered your question below!! There you have it!

No issues what so ever! It does work on the 2002 grand prix abs and srs I have worked on that same car many times with this scan tool! It does both and more!
