Weird place for an OBDII port but okay VW I guess you know what you’re doing
I’m driving about 500 miles this weekend, so I figured I ought to do a scan and see what was broken. Thankfully, I’m still only at 5 CEL codes!
This batch is as follows:
P0134- B1S1 O2 sensor no activity- known problem, I will do nothing.
P0341 (intermittent)- camshaft position sensor bad signal- this car has no such sensor, it’s actually the hall effect sensor on the distributor. Known problem, I have a replacement distributor, but have yet to replace it. I will when it gets worse.
P0133 (intermittent)- B1S1 O2 sensor circuit slow response- see P0134.
P1128 (intermittent)- manifold absolute pressure sensor signal lower than expected- could be a bad sensor, could be a vacuum pressure issue, who knows, it’s whatever.
P0102 (intermittent)- MAF circuit low. I should probably clean the MAF sensor. I won’t. It’s probably related to the CAI that’s installed.
There are a bunch of things I could easily do to rectify most, if not all, of these, but... it’s whatever. 22 year old car. VW doing VW stuff. I did, however, add an Oppo bump.
Kinja won’t let me crop it correctly and I couldn’t get the whole hatch in the shot because someone parked right on my bumper. Use your imagination.

I find it hilarious that VW put the Obdii port front and center for easy access

Yep, and later models usually had it under the dash kneepad, so a little more hidden. Some of the European models put them under
the center console cupholder, since their engineers were unfamiliar with the interactions of gravity and fluids. Brilliant.

When I took it to get e-checked the second time (it failed the first, because of course it did) I forgot to take the faceplate off. The tech could not for the life of him find it. He also stalled it pulling forward to the rolling road and burned the shit out of my clutch. Thanks bud.

They don’t drink in the car, remember? European cupholders are just a trap for later subpoenas after a collision.

Honda did that with the Accord too. I had a 98 (?) that had it behind the ashtray.
