Where is the OBD interface of the Volkswagen Touran?
2 Answers
The OBD interface of the Volkswagen Touran is located behind the plastic cover under the steering wheel. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics in Chinese, which can monitor important parts of the vehicle in real time. When a fault occurs in the car, it will promptly issue an alarm. The parts monitored by OBD include the oxygen sensor, fuel system, engine, emission control system, catalytic converter, EGR, particulate filter, etc. The Volkswagen Touran has a body length, width, and height of 4527mm, 1829mm, and 1659mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2791mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The maximum power of this engine is 110kW, and the maximum torque is 250Nm.
I've driven quite a few Volkswagen models, including the Touran, and the OBD port location is actually quite easy to find. It's usually on the driver's side, slightly to the left under the steering wheel, near the bottom of the dashboard. You'll need to bend down and look around the area above your knees – sometimes there's a small plastic cover over it that you can just flip open. If you can't find it there, you might also check around the center console, but most Tourans have it on the driver's side. This port is crucial for connecting diagnostic equipment, especially when the check engine light comes on or during inspections. I recommend trying to locate it yourself – it shouldn't be too hard to find, and its well-chosen position makes maintenance more convenient.
