Aye I’d never buy a mega cheap one, went Bosch in the end - happy middle ground price and a familiar name.
Will need to have another go with the scanner and make a proper list of what comes up - some things I couldn’t make head or tails of, parking sensor (classic), something about the coils and coil pack relay, maybe some others too. It was all done hastily just to see if it worked, need to have a proper sit down with it and note all the codes.
I’d have thought a serious error with the coils would give me an engine light or similar. Something to investigate (or ignore until it becomes more serious).

My attitude is why risk your life and others with cheap parts, Febi are good as are genuine Bosch, a lot of fakes out there so always find a reputable supplier. I often use Autodoc, wait a while for delivery from Germany but good value & so far no quality issues.
Foxwell scanners you can read the codes but also useful is status requests were you can pull up live data, especially useful for temp sensors and speed sensors as some will not show a fault because they provide a signal but it can be a wrong signal.
What are the other faults you have?
