### Reading error codes
This is a 1994 car. Volkswagen started shipping cars with OBD2 interfaces from 1995 onward. You can see this in your car: if your OBD connector is **black** it's a pre-ODB2 version, the **purple** connector indicates OBD2.
Luckily, with a cheap KKL-compatible USB cable and VCDS Lite (free shareware works for reading and clearing codes), I was able to read the Engine and ABS systems for error codes.
