OBDII connector
Hey,
Can someone confirm for me where exactly the OBDII connector is? I'm trying to finally work out if my late 95 reg 1.8 v6 is OBDI or II.
And yes I've searched the site! Is it in the centre under the fan controls? Or is there an easier way to tell?
Thanks for your help

umcamar - Thats pretty much where I figured they would be.. but his car is in Ireland.. might be opposite of there but I dunno for sure since the car is likely to be right hand drive.

sweet I remember pulling codes with an LED from that when my dizzy died! I'll double check for the connector tho before I get my hopes up!umcamar1 wrote:Also, I have the diagnostic connector under the hood, as well as the OBD-II plug on the passenger side. If I try to pull CEL codes from the diagnostic conncector by jumping TEN and Ground, I don't get any code.
Yep RHdrive, thanks guys! Hmm is that klze I hear??? Though I'm tempted to turbo my k8 just for the noise!

Sorry to bring upp an old thred but... I seem to have the same problem, cant figure out if i have OBDI or OBDII. My car was new in Norway medio 1997. I have the diagnostic connector under the hood. Does anyone know if Europen cars came with OBDII connectors? And does anyone have a picture of the OBDII connector.
Cind regards

ok I haven't found any OBD II connectors. People keep telling me that because my car is a uk 1995 N reg it is going to be OBDII. I really have to sort this out once and for all.
On a UK forum one of the guys said if the ECU has 4 connectors its OBDII, OBDI have 2/3. Mine has 3, so does this 100% confirm OBDI?
I have 3 yellow connectors:
What do you guys reckon? I really need a conclusive test ASAP!
PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY:!:
Thanks
