Which Fault Code Scanner? OBD VCDS

Can abyone tell me what fault code protocol is a May 2002 Polo? I've just bought an OBDII scanner from eBay. The plug fits but it won't communicate with the car. It works fine on a newer Audi. I just want a cheap option to check and clear an exhaust emission code that's cropped up.

Re: Drivers Door Won't Unlock With Key

Fixed it myself :D The lock barrel was gummed up and only free to rotate in one direction. For anyone else facing the same problem, I found two really useful videos on line: 1.

Drivers Door Won't Unlock With Key

2002 Polo with central locking (but not remote on a fob) and manual wind-up windows. Everything functions, including central locking via the driver's door lock, except for unlocking the driver's door with the key. The consequence is that I have to unlock the car using the passenger's key lock. The b...
