Where is the OBD port in the Volkswagen T5

Where the port is depends on the generation. Pick the years your car was built in — the year is in the registration document.

What year is your car?

In a changeover year (2009) either one is possible — check both guides.

Your year isn’t here? We don’t know the exact spot for it yet — check the usual places below.

Can’t find it?

Check the other usual places — the most common first:

  1. Under the dashboard, left of the steering wheel
  2. Right under the steering wheel
  3. Under the dashboard, right of the steering wheel
  4. Behind a lid in the lower dashboard, left of the wheel
  5. In the middle of the centre console
  6. Between the front seats

It is often behind a cover: a small hinged lid, the fuse-box lid, an ashtray or a storage tray. These usually come off by hand — pull them towards you. Don’t force anything: if a cover won’t give, the port is most likely somewhere else. Where a cover has to be unscrewed, the steps for your car say so.
