Why woud someone want ot remove the OBD 2 port???
Took my scoob for a full service at scoobyclinic today (great setup they've got there), Kev went to plug the laptop into the sccob to do a diagnostic check but the port in my car wasnt there, like someone had cut it out?!?! Ive only had the car 3 weeks, the previous owner doesnt know anything about it so I havent got a clue.
Ive left my car up at the 'clinic' as some major things need doing...but what possible reason could there be to remove the port, kev's going to have a proper good look behind the dash to see if its hidden away somewhere. They had to check and reset the ecu the good old fashion way due to not being able to plug in a laptop. Can these things be re-wired in as I need that port to have the car mapped later this year?
