Cant find my diagnostic socket Help !! Please?

Post by falling-out-with-my-car »

Hello,

having bought my Lexia I cant seem to find the diagnostic socket on my 2007 Mk2 C5 Exclusive.
Ive looked in the glove compartments on both sides with a torch and Nothing
Ive even looked up under the pedals and still nothing.
Any Ideas please?

I hope I haven't bought a lexia and I cant plug into the car, feeling a bit stupid now. #-o #-o #-o

Thanks in advance

regards.

Nigel.

err can you be a bit more specific please?
Ive just pulled the centre consul apart and I still can't see a diagnostic socket anywhere
beneath it unless it is forward of the consul/
There is a black box beneath the ashtray at the back of the consul but I don't have a rear lower panel on mine.
The black plastic box seems to support the bottom of the ashtray and doesn't seem to have any sockets in it.
is there a possibility its under the bonnet?
god that handbrake boot is a pain to put back again.

Oops.....my error :(....read as a 2009.

On the 2007 Mk2 Facelift it is behind a removable panel by the fuse box I think. Where the spare fuses live

Alisdair,

Thanks just had to pull out the whole panel inside the glove box instead of the little
black spare fuse holder which sits inside the Bigger panel.
This larger panel has a pocket in it.
Blimey Citroen didn't really want you to find the socket did they?
Just had a little phaff about with the OBD2 plug it seems to require quit a bit of force to
to get it to go home properly, but now I can play till my hearts content with my lexia.

thanks again.

regards
