Hi Monkey, :)
Thank you for your reply.
I understood, unfortunately, I have to give up on the OBD port on my MK2.

Afraid not, this was the birthplace of ECUs and interrogating them wasn't brought in till the mk3 platform.
Some G60s have a very rudimentary form of diagnostics, but to my knowledge, the normal 8vs never got it.

I.C.E & Electrical / Add an OBD port
Last post by Ken -
Hi all,
I own a 1989 8V GTI MK2.
This car does not come with an OBD port.
The fuel injection system is Digifant 2.
Is it possible to add an OBD port to this car?

Might want to look into that one!
I highly doubt it's never been done, but definitely pop off the cover and have a look.
See if you can manually wind the engine over until you can see some markings on the belt.
If it's VW marked/there is none and the belt looks worn, the chances are you could be on a wing and a prayer!

Generally speaking, whenever I get a car, I'll swap out the belt if I've got no history/evidence of it being done recently.
For the hundred or so it costs, it's well worth it for piece of mind.
