Hi All

For the life of me, I cant see a diagnostic plug anywhere on my car.

It's a late preface 318 M10, all I can see is the C101 connection on the bulkhead.

What you have is the wonderful LE Jetronic as fitted to the early 6-cyl 320 and 323. It has the earlier diagnostic plug not the round one like all the later cars.

Lucky as most M10 engines can only use the 5 senses for diagnosis :D

Nice clean engine bay :thumb:

Thankyou again! Saved me a lot more head scratching :-D

Its certainly cleaner than it was, once I get all my service items I'll go over it again just to get into the awkward spaces.

Cheers and thank you
