2015 polo 1.0 OBD2 port

Post by davidager13 »

Good evening all
This is a very strange one, hoping some can help.
I have an airbag light on my polo from when I removed the airbag to replace the wiper stork after it failed.
Tonight I fought I would plug it in and clear the fault..!!! The OBD2 isn't in its normal place..?? I can't see it anywhere..!! Just the empty area where the port would normally be.

Any suggestions...??

please refrain from opening multiple topics. i've deleted three of them in the wrong place. i think one is enough.

the obd should be at the top right of your picture, in the square hole, it seems to be missing.

that was done probably to prevent theft. try reaching up in the hole and feeling any type of the connector is should be like in 99% of the cases. If there isa different type of obd try looking for the extesion cable in your car. they re-pin the original.

Thank, found it zip tied up in the back of the dashboard with a Bluetooth reader plugged in to it.

Many thanks

A lot of the fiesta ST owners with keyless entry/start do this to prevent thieves smashing a window and accessing the obd port to start the vehicle
