Quick corrado question :P

[jamestbh 0]

Hey all, wondered if i could pick you brains for a second please

 

 

i've got a mate on the other end of the phone with a fault code reader and a poorly g60 and no idea where to find the plug, he's checked the dash, i've had a look in my 16v C aswell and still can't seem to find where you'd plug in it :S

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Cheers

Lift the plastic gearstick surround

G60s don't have VAGCOM ports for the engine ECU, only a diagnostic port for the ABS ECU (where fitted!) :(

 

Most of the engine diagnostics can be done with a multimeter (reading voltage or resistance) and knowledge of where to connect it (eg. Bentley factory repair guide).

 

If his car did have VAGCOM, the connector would be under the gearstick gaiter - unscrew the gearknob and pull the plastic surround up and off the gearstick - the connector(s) would be found inside, close to the dash.

 

What's the problem he's trying to diagnose? Probably need to post in the appropriate area, on second thoughts :)

have you got to take just the surround off or the whole centre? could you see it if lifted the gear gaiter, which side is it on?

You could just pop the surround off, and put the gear lever into 2nd or 4th to get it (and the flapping surround) out of the way a bit. You'd be able to see the connector near where 1st gear would be :wink:
