Obd-ii Non Compliant?

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated

 

Since my galaxy stopped working, and since Ford Kircaldy told me that a diagnosis would cost |75.25+vat| I have been trying to get the self diagnosing.

Did you actually search? There is a ton of information on the net... with a good couple of days reading just on here.

 

The TDI is a VW engine and uses K line communications which isn't OBD2. Sell the lead back on - it won't work as the communication takes place on different pins to OBD2 - then purchase a VAG-COM cable and software set.

thanks mirez, that answers it to the tee, i'll post when I get the VAGCOM plugged in.

 

it might be much easier to find that kind of info when you know what to look for, unfortunatly I was looking for OBD-II so just coming up with nil.
