Since i'm starting to run into problems, I think its time to buy a scanner. Can someone give me some advice what Scanner I should purchase?

Thanks

I don't believe so, but the more expensive ML619 model does.

This one will read every module in your vehicle and erase every code if the proper repair has been done.

Hi, maybe there is something i cant see, this Autel Scanner MD802 Maxidiag Elite in the link you give us is about 600$, but this:

Amazon Amazon

is about 180$.
Please, i have seen both models and seems to be equal, could you indicate which is the difference?
Thank you in advance.

MLs do not round 35 pin connector. OBD connector is under the dash.
