FAQ – frequently asked questions

Q: Will the diagnostic socket be destroyed or severely damaged?

A: No, the screws are positioned in such a way that  the contacts can not be  short-circuited. The screws form the thread at a harmless point. The function  of  the OBD socket is  100%  preserved. There will be minimal traces of the thread, but these will  not have any  negative effects. 

Q: Does the diagnostic connection still work for the workshop/TÜV after assembly/disassembly?

A: Yes, the  function  and duties of the OBD socket/diagnostic socket  remain unchanged. 

Q: How do the screws hold tight in the plastic?

A: Due to the special position and shape, plastic (diagnostic socket) and metal (OBD saver) form a firm connection. Due to its optimized nature, the OBDS also offers no point of attack for violent removal.

Q: Thread wear / thread stripping in plastic ?

A: Over-tightening is prevented by a guide in the OBD saver. The screws are always guided in the same way, so that wear and tear on the OBD socket (made of plastic) is minimized. Thread flanks and screws always meet at the same position.

Q: Are there any issues with the vehicle manufacturer’s warranty?

A: The OBDS has been successfully tested and validated by several vehicle manufacturers. No manufacturer raised concerns about the warranty. You can see an example from a well-known manufacturer under this  LINK   .

When any servicing or diagnostic work is required, the Universal OBDsaver can simply be removed using the unique individual coded tool.
