This video shows how to locate the EOBD (European On Board Diagnostic) socket and how to perform diagnostics yourself. The socket is located behind the panel between the steering wheel and the driver's door.

There is a plastic cover that is only held in place by clips, and you just need to pull it off with a bit of force. Behind it, you will find the socket.

Naturally, you will need to purchase an OBDII interface, which can be found on various e-commerce sites: for example, the one used by our YouTuber can be found on Amazon with the code B0BVG93SDP for £10.49, including delivery. Then, you will need to download an app for decoding on your smartphone: he recommends Torque.

After connecting the interface, turn the key in the vehicle, and the app will provide a lot of information. To replace the cover, simply clip it back in place and push.
