Obd Ii Port On A Mk Iv

[mike213735]

Hi all,

I've bought myself an OBD II code reader / resetter and I wondered if a '98 MKIV has a port and if so, where is it?

Thanks

Mike

Yes it is OBDII compliant so must have the connection port,it has to be located within easy reach of the drivers seat position,not sure on the exact location but have a good look under the drivers footwell area under the dash,on earlier models the OBDI port was below the boot and fuel release controls,another place could be inside the centre console possibly with a cover over it.

I've found the port. Under the steering column. If you put you head down by the pedals, you can see it easily. Mine has a white plastic cover over it.

Thing is, when I connected my OBDII reader, it says "Linking Error" I have no idea why this is?

Oh well, worth a shot. I have no EML problems, but I was just going to run a diagnostics on it anyway.

Thanks

Mike
