OBD port location in a Vauxhall Combo Combo C

Combo C 2001–2011

Centre console, low down beneath the heater/climate controls, beside the central stowage compartment. It sits recessed back in the centre stack rather than on the steering column, so you need to get your head down to about handbrake level to see it; a torch helps. On some early vans the connector was tucked up the left side of the radio aperture. Because it is a centre-console position it is the same on both left-hand-drive (Opel) and right-hand-drive (Vauxhall) vehicles, and the same across panel-van, crew-van and Tour trims. There is no fuse box inside the cabin on this model, so don't go looking there - all fuses are under the bonnet.
