Code reader specific to my car

Post by Brandy01 »

Hi guys,I have searched but have not found this specific info for my car. Please forgive me if i possibly missed it.
I have a 1996 Golf Mk3 Gti 2.0L 8v AFW, Mp9 with a Bosch Polocup 7800rpm 2.0 ecu. I want to buy a code reader/scan tool which must do just the basics : read codes,clear codes,tb adaption etc These are the 3 things i want to be able to do,i know some of the cheap readers can only read codes.
Can one of you guys maybe tell me for certain which tool to buy? Obviously i don't wanna spend thousands if i don't have tošŸ˜
My car has the obd2 plug to the left of the ashtray,i bought an elm327 but then sold it for obvious reasons (ya ya i know but i tried). Apparently they changed from obd1 to obd2 in 1996 and my car might be stuck in the middle with an obd2 plug but obd1 actually. Dont know all the true facts about this.
Any help will be appreciated guys
Brendan
