avengerman Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 I have looked on here for the situation of the socket to plug in a scanner for fault reading but it should be behind the glove box .I cant see it there and wondered if it is in a different place on my galaxy.Can anyone tell me where to look on a 1999 model 1.9 tdi galaxy for this socket?

bigdave982 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 Was under the ashtray on my mk1 Quote
avengerman Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Posted October 20, 2012 have checked there but no socket Quote
avengerman Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Posted October 20, 2012 mine is the ghia model dont know if that makes a difference? Quote
sparky Paul Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 I thought they were all in the same place on the mk.I. Have you removed both the ash tray insert and the ashtray housing from the gear lever console? Mine's under there. Quote
a18nkd Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 hi avengerman mine is a 1998 mk1 galaxy and it is under the ash tray but the ash tray has two parts to it i pulled the first bit out and thought it's not there but there is another bit that comes out too take that out and you should see the carpet and the socket towards the front of the car hope this helps Quote
avengerman Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Posted October 20, 2012 thanks will check tomorrow when it is light Quote
avengerman Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Posted October 20, 2012 well couldnt wait so borrowed a torch and yup found it under the ash tray now newed to know which meter to buy off e bay to tell the codes? Quote
SilverBeast Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 If you have a laptop get one of the VAG-COM leads off ebay. I have one of these This is by far the best value for money. It will cost less than £10 and you download the free copy of VAG-COM or VCDS-Lite from the RossTech website. I believe this will let you diagnose all the diagnoseable (is that a word?) systems as just about all the car and your engine are VW. I haven't needed the registered version as it lets you do most things anyway (such as resetting airbags, booster heater etc). If you visit the Wiki on the RossTech site it will also give more information about most of the error codes. There is plenty of help on this site on setting up and using it. Just search for VAG-COM Quote
avengerman Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 will buy a lead and give it a try and let you know how I get on Quote
avengerman Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Posted November 16, 2012 I would just like to say thanks to everyone for your help so far.I have a lead now and downloaded what i think is the correct programme for my netbook but am still trying to get it to work with my Galaxy.Will let you know if I succeed Quote
