Add an OBD port

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?

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.

Hi Monkey,

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