Where is the malfunction indicator light (MIL)?


Recommended Posts

I have an ODB1 vr6 golf (early type with only the 4 pins for connecting). I am trying to use the blink codes from the ECU but although I have jumpered the pins together, I can't see any flashing /blinking LEDs anywhere.

I assume I should be looking somewhere around the dashboard but my workshop manual is rather vague as to where the MIL is located. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Ahh! Thanks for that. Is there a way to retrieve the blink codes or is it a case of saving up for a lap top and a copy of the vag-com software then?

I have seen a tolol in halfords that claims to spit out blink codes but it doesn't list the early golf vr6 as being compatible (although the passats of the same era are covered). I don't suppose anyone has tried one of these tools with an OBD1 golf have they?

Thanks in advance
