Hi does anyone know the location of the OBD port on a 98 a4 cabriolet. I have a OBD2 code reader I hope its the same port and not the old style. Thanks all

Have a nosey here - VAG-COM/OBD Port locations (http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?4773-VAG-COM-OBD-Port-locations&highlight=obd+location) not sure if your car was before they time they all moved to above the accelerator pedal but look there too.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the cabriolet had the 2 plug dlc under the bonnet on the drivers side?

Just to avoid confusion to anyone reading this thread, the 1998 cab/convertible is known as just that, 1998 con/cab, as based on the B4/80 model.
This car is not an A4 cab/con, the 80 cab/con ran up to 2000, whereas the A4 cab/con started 2002.
Not being smart but wouldn't want anyone giving the original poster info relating to A4 rather than 80/B4.
I am only guessing but I think the earlier cars were the old style diagnosis set up when the later (A4) would be OBD1/11
Hope that was at least a little bit helpful
