I'm looking for some software to run on a laptop to plug into my son's 1997 Polo 1.6GL. I've got a cable with the 16 pin connector one end a USB on the other and downloaded some VAG-COM software that only told me that the car isn't OBD2 compatible. So I suppose it's CAN1? I'm not familiar with this stuff I'm afraid. I want to look at the fault codes and live data in particular when the engine is running to look for dodgy sensors. Does anybody know of some suitable software that can be purchased at reasonable cost or even better downloaded for free? Thanks

A 1997 Polo is OBD2. It's not the software that is the problem but the Fleabay cable. You will have to buy a proper interface from Ross Tech to get VAG-Com working. VAG-Com is the only one that will do what you want for free as far as I know.

How did you know I bought it off FleaBay? I've downloaded Ross-Tech's VCDS-Lite for 'all 3rd party and Dumb Interfaces' and that doesn't seem to communicate via the cable either. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so.

Lucky guess. The third party interfaces are very hit and miss and they don't always work with the cars they should. Its a shame because the software is great. The genuine interfaces are a couple of hundred quid, which compared to most semi-pro diagnostics is pretty cheap but still a bit more than the average DIYer would want to spend. This software looks to be free. I have never used it so no idea what it is like but it might work with your cable: http://www.qcontinuum.org/obdgauge/index.htm There are also various downloads here: http://www.er-forum.de/obd-diag-dl/ Again not used any of them. Hopefully one will work

There is no actual dipstick on the 1997 volkswagen jetta. The way to check the level is a little odd. Under the car on the drivers side of the engine behind the front wheel there is a plug. It can be pulled out and that is how you check the level. It is similar to checking a differential. You will need a funnel with extension hose on it to fill the fluid.
