That tool should indeed work on reading any faults in your car(s).

Once they have OBD ports, your cars probably will have them.

It''ll throw up a fault code, you'll probably get a code book, which will tell

you what the faults mean.

Have something similar handy little tool, cheap too. Good luck with it.

Was browsing the Argos catelogue today and spotted something similar.

Possibly not. The standard only became official in Europe in 2001 on petrols and 2003 on diesels.

I'd say...

The best diagnostic tool for Peugeot/Citroen is lexia 3 which is the dealer tool that covers everything....this needs an xp laptop to run on.
For the polo i'd say vag-com or vas 5054a (also these need an xp laptop to run)
Depends what your after...TBH fault finding really needs a good diagnostic tool that not along just reads the fault but can run live data..actuator tests..etc to pin point a particular that fault ......:)

From 98 onwards most cars have obd ports....Most code readers work on 98+ petrols and most 04+ diesels.
