Vag Com Diag Connector Location??

[Pernicitus]

Hi guys n' gal's

I'm looking to buy a Mk4 in Jan and I will want to connect up my Vag com to test it for errors etc before purchasing.
I was looking at http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/dlc.html for the diag port location.

I was just wondering is there a standard location for it in the Mk4's? In my Mk3 and all other Mk3's I've seen, its beside the ashtray and accessed be removing ashtray etc.

Is there such a thing as a standard location are are there 1 or 2 common locations etc?

Any help appreciated!

It is next to the handbrake under the rubber card holder insert.

not wanting to question you mate, i know you know your stuff, but on the mk4 golf, the OBD connector is just above the ashtray, covered by a small plastic fascia, just below the climate control console?

Cheers for the quick replys guys.

So its above the ashtray!
Cool, So is it like the Mk3 where by you have to remove something ie ashtray to get access to remove the plastic fascia? or how do you get access to it?

Nice one guys,

I'll be able to check the car with ease now! Rather than fumbling around under the steering column etc. I'd have had the car half pulled apart before I found the connector LOL


Cheers
