Reviews around vacuum leak (4.18 of 5)

  • I used Bluetooth connection and once my tablet recognized the Bafx Reader it connected to Car Doc and everything worked as it should.
  • Got this to track down vacuum leaks while driving
  • New unit works as it should on the following vehicles without any issues
  • The really great part about this reader though, is that after it dried out for a few months, now it works as before
  • Because it's wireless, you can also hold your cell phone in your hand while working under the hood, and do experiments like running a (non ignited) propane torch around the engine compartment to look for vacuum leaks which changes the O2 sensor output

Reviews around code (4.10 of 5)

  • I have only used this device to read and clear fault codes.
