Error Code Reader

I have a Mk4 Skoda Octavia, over the weekend the airbag warning light came on and stayed on during my journey. Can anyone recommend a basic OBD that’s easy to use?
I have booked my car in at Skoda, but if the fault is intermittent it may not show up on the day, so the need for having one myself.

If there's a fault flagged it should be stored in the ECU, even if the car is not currently suffering from it, so the guys should still be able to pick it up.

The problem with basic OBDII readers is that they won't show every fault, and those it does pick up will be generic codes rather than anything specific to your car.
For VAG cars (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, etc) you really need the proper VAGCom or RossTech software, otherwise you could end up chasing several possible faults that have nothing to do with the specific problem. The Skoda guys should have this.

Ok, thanks.
