If your only after basic fault finding, download VCDS Lite from the Rosstech website - its free, and get a generic ebay lead for less than a tenner. :thumbleft:

Obd 1 is just two pin isn't it? The car has to have obd 2 to use the generic cable.u need a adptor with that cable too.blink codes is the cheapest way if function is available( should be)

All Corrados were ODB1 from the factory but mine has the later rectangular 18?-pin connector, as did all the late ones IIRC.

 

It's just a connector change, so get a generic cable plus an adapter cable for the pair of 2-pin connectors if you need one.
