Default OBD2 reader or just buy Durametrics?

What years do durametrics cover?

I got a check engine light from what I think is the coolant that leaked into the intake when I was replacing the AOS.

Kragen, and a shop near by wouldn't run the code. Kragen sells a $69 OBD2 code reader. Should I just get the Durametrics? Or is there an additional use for the OBD2? Also anyone know if OBD2's can reset service lights on Audis?

Thanks

My cheapo code reader(Harbor Freight) can read the Porsche codes, my '05 GMC, VW etc. and reset them...but, it won't reset the Porsche seatbelt light. The Durametric is more costly, but it does a lot more.

Yeah, I'm doing my own service on my 09 Audi and it has a service due light that is always on at the start. If the OBD2 clears that then I'll buy it, if not, Audi has their own durametric type cable.

just used my durametric to record various voltages and diagnose a bat cat - was a good buy... it has saved me more them I spent on it.
