diagnostic plug?!?

[doely85]

i have a n reg 16v, i have read the sticky in the mk3 maintenance + info section about this and i have looked behind the blanks next to heated rear window switch and slidy bit of plastic above cigarette lighter and cannot find the plug? there are some wires that lead to the lekky window switches but thats it?!? any ideas where it is? cheers

on your year it should be behind the slide panel above the ashtray

Pull the ashtray forward & release the little tab inside so it comes out, to the left of it is a smooth blanking plate which will slide to the right (where the ashtray was) revealing the diagnostic plug!

its only a few bolts as you dont need to remove the heater unit.. the surround and swithes all need to come off, ashtray out and hopefully you'll spot it!! there all simple screws that hold it together (no odd sized torque bolts luckily)
