OBD port removed

I have just found that the OBD port has been cut off and removed from my recent D4 purchase.

Why would anyone remove this?

Exactly this…^

Have a look up behind the dash.. the original one is probably tucked away tied up somewhere.. the one you are looking at may be a dummy one..

Personally I would leave it as is if the original is still there somewhere!

Obviously the previous owner has had a nasty experience! It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

RRBlue - How long ago did you buy the car, privately or from a dealer?
