I have a '98 Euro car that came up with an ABS fault light last weekend. What are the chances that a cheap OBDII reader will help me trouble shoot the fault?
Any recommendations?

Re: OBDII Again
i had a launch one from repco that got codes and stuff all right but no data etc was about 300 bucks 5 yrs ago.

Sell the car! Or leave the light on.

Re: OBDII Again
Most of the cheap scanners are fairly useless unless you just want to read generic codes.
Most manufacturers use generic & make specific codes. This make things interesting.
By "euro" do you mean BMW by any chance? These can be a PITA.
Find a reputable place with a quality scan tool & get them to check the codes. Most places will do this for a nominal fee as the investment in the equipment can be thousands of dollars.

Re: OBDII Again
Any 14 year old Euro is a time bomb for wiring. You'll be chasing your tail on it forever now. Leave it be and drive it or fix the lights when your selling it.
