where is the diagnostic port???
« on: 07 May 2011, 18:08 »
Been trying to faff around since teh engine management light came on earlier, and my old man ahs a diagnostic tool, but cant find a port anywhere?

its on a 2.0 8lt 2000 X reg gti golf

any help be great

Hoping its nothing major, i know the oil is a bit low and would need changing/topping up but would that cause EM light to come on? or would the oil light come on instead?

cheers

na once i turned the engine back off and plugged it back in after turning EM light off, it said ''no codes'', so sounds good so the problem i think was the broken dipstick cover spitting oil
