Why choose klavkarr?

Why use a diagnostic scanner for your Volkswagen?

On Volkswagen models, EPC engine management warnings and emissions-related faults involving the EGR valve, DPF or AdBlue system are recurring issues. klavkarr reads the specific code behind the warning, with explanations in English and no manufacturer-specific licence required.

Tested Volkswagen compatibility

Every listed model has been tested by a user. Our database lists 4,601 car models, covering 12,195 versions and configurations.

Read & clear fault codes

Find out why a warning light is on and clear the code after fixing the fault, without booking an appointment.

Live data

Monitor performance and spot abnormal sensor readings, pressure or emission-control behaviour before a breakdown.

Plug straight in

Connect to the OBD2 port, with no dismantling or specialist mechanical knowledge required.

Plain-English fault codes

Fault codes explained clearly, without technical jargon or a manufacturer-specific software licence.

Updates included

New models and codes are added regularly, with no subscription.

On Volkswagen models, an EPC or emissions warning light often points to an emissions-related fault, for example: P0401 for insufficient EGR flow, P2002 for low diesel particulate filter (DPF) efficiency, or P20EE for low SCR (AdBlue) catalyst efficiency. An OBD2 diagnostic check helps narrow down the cause before any repairs.

Whether you drive a Polo, Golf, Tiguan, Passat, T-Roc or Transporter, the OBD2 port is usually below the steering wheel, near the fuse box. klavkarr connects directly to it, with no dismantling required.
