Sorry to hijack your thread mate, but just looking at that ebay link and it says it doesn't work with the MK5 Golf... anyone got a link for a ebay one that is good, and also works with the mk 5?

MK5 uses the newer version of the software and a different spec cable. Go to the Ross Tech website and see which version you need, then you gave options of Ross Tech cable or ebay version.

This was a handy thread - just ordered this myself (Exact one from this link) for my 8v GTi as my ABS and Airbag lights are on so hopefully I can sort these out but quick question. Where do I plug it in?
I know in Vauxhalls it's near the handbrake but where is it in the golf?

Thanks in advance.

Remove the ashtray. Then on the left, there is a plastic cover that will slide to the right. This will reveal the plug.

Just removed the front ashtray from mine and there is no panel that moves/slides to reveal a plug. Is there a different place to look. Mine is a 1997 model if this helps. Or if anyone has pics??     Cheers     Deano

Next to the ashtray is the cigarette lighter which does not come out. When I was having a look and pulling panels (gently) the dash frontage was moving so have not found a removable part yet.  HELP!!!!!!lol     Deano
