could it have anything to do with ABS? my '90 G60 has a connector like that i was told it was for scanning the ABS for faults...

These are the 2+2 style diagnostic connections. In the 1.9 TD they are actually unused and only included as part of the dashboard wiring harness - there is nothing to interface with diagnostics wise...

My '89 Audi 200 has the 2+2 connector to interface with the engine management.

More recent VW's should have the newer style connector, such as is sold with VAG-COM. In my 99 A3 TDI it's located behind a small panel next to the ashtray - it's likely in a similar location in your 96.
