    Where abouts on a MK3 Golf is the OBD socket? I could do with doing a scan to see what gremlins are hiding in my Golf.

    depends on the age of the car. early ones have 2x2 plug behind a dash blank, late ones behind plate next to ashtry. remove ashtray and plate slides across. a search would have revealed the answer as someone else asked this only a day or so ago ;)

    whats the definition of early & late here John?

    1994 (early external trim e.g. side repeaters are rectangular, no airbags, early engine bay bits) car we have has it in same place as 1996 car I've been dismantling

    1992 to 1993 early?

    So that's what those connecters are, i thought these were something to do with rear window switches if the car had them, yes mine was registered 1993 but built 1992.
