Golf 3 gti diagnostic tool recommendation

Post by Kyle28rsa »

Hi guys

I recently bought a mk3 gti and i would like to pull diagnostic report from the ecu. From what i gathered from the net, it states that the port is OBD2. So i bought a cheap diagnostic tool (named elm327) so that i could test it out. Upon plugging in the device and using the tourque app, it states that i cannot connect to the ecu. First i thought faulty device but tested it on a polo 9n and it works wonderful. So my question is which diagnostic tool should i purchase? Not looking for anything pricey, just the basic functions.

Any advice would be appreciated
