help for new guy with a connection problem.

[blue_concept]

the other day i brough an vag com cable for my mk3 gti so i can sort the rear abs sensor out. i inserted it into the right connection and it didn't work. after hours and hours of fiddling with the cable and laptop. i open the dash up.

when i opened the dash up i found that the cable was not plugged in anywhere and there was no blatant place to plug the cable in

being a newbie to golfs i didn't wanna start messing about with the wiring, anyone know where the cable is supposed to be plugged in? thanks

Im guessing it needs to plug into the ecu. Just a guess

being a total idiot.. where is the ECU?

[Judderi]

In the scuttle pannel. The bit where the window wiper motor is. Above the engine under a plastic cover.

The connections for the diagnostic socket loom would most likely be under the dash behind or above the relay plate/fuse box , I'll have a look in the wiring diagram to find its location 
(All you will find in the plenum chamber/scuttle panel is a large multiplug that goes straight into the ECU)

Sorry wasn't able to have a look at the wiring diagram today will try tomorrow .
PS what year and engine code is it ? ( as it will help with locating the correct diagram )

[blue_concept]

its a 1997 blue colour concept. i dont know the engine code. (where can i find that?)

[GTI EDITION (aka LTD)]

In that case it'll probably be either an AGG or ADY engine code ( If it's an 8V )

yeah its an 8 value. just found out the exhaust is blowing. i though it was quick enough already cannot wait to get the exhaust fixed. sorry back to the point. where do you get the wiring diagram from?
