Dam dam dam... Can i get it started no!!! Right guys sorry about this...Can somone help me out.. I'm Trying to fit this into a Mk1 cabrio loom but not have much luck. Can some create a wiring instruction for the powers + and Earths as the rest seem fine.. i think i'm getting my switched powers wrong but now its starting to do my head in... Plz.. On the VAG-com only getting ABS & Airbag fault codes?#/

switched live would be coil live, i.e. live with ignition and cranking, black wire from ign switch and to old coil plug

Thanks for all the help from all the guys on here... I've learnt after 3 days that i had my wiring correct from the start after going round in circles and banding my head.. The main thing i was missing was that the ECU outer Case needed to be earthed...tut tut what a plonker!! hehe ..Well here's another one that runs down to this thread...Thanks again.. Rubjonny your a star i owe you a beer..
Great write up. Just read through the whole thread. Got a headache now Just in the process of doing a transplant. 1.8T (BAM) from one MK2 conversion (very rough) into our own car (Mk2 Driver Tidy) ). Wiring on the existing 1.8T MK2 is a bit of a mess to say the least (as bought but runs OK) so flying a bit blind. Anybody got a link to an Emerald ECU / 1.8T wiring project. so at least we can get the engine out, as at the moment got wires going everywhere, plugs hanging off, wires disappearing down the back of the engine etc. Wires are threaded through the scuttle. No idea how that was done from engine to scuttle or scuttle to engine?
Awesome thread. Quick question, is the clutch pedal switch only necessary if your using the cruise control. Can you ditch it otherwise? Thanks Alex
Anyone work out what number 8 was? 8 - brake connector??? It has Red/Green & Brown/Black. Could be PAS pressure but i want to check before i chop it out. So im currently removing the SAI Pump, SAI solenoid valve, charcoal canister & Starter cables. Sound ok for a 24V into a CE2 MK2 VR6? Pretty sure im going to keep the MK3 clocks so will need to add a couple of cables in for the oil light, Correct? Also did you remove the 2 last cables from the brown SAI relay plug? I think they go back to the ECU connector or did you just cut them off?
reverse switch with SAI i cut them off and tape the spare ends up in the loom after tracing them back to where I go. read this: http://www.clubgti.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=238699
Ah reverse switch! I did have a look on ETKA but it didnt show the correct colours for that! Oh well, At least i can use it as i have an 02J tower. I have de-pinned the other stuff, wrapped in tape and put it back up the loom. I will use vag-com to remove them completely. (Laser pin tools are great btw!) So thats the 1st part done, Now i need to go through the interior loom to get the rest of it sorted from the T14 connector
T14 is easy peasy. if you start with a digifant 8v mk2 loom you have most of the pins you need in the 5 pin plug in the scuttle, if you drag it out the scuttle to the battery area the length is perfect to just pop the mk2 pins into the mk4 plug i swapped the green/red starter motor trigger pin to the speedo sensor pin, as the mk4 doesnt need starter live. then i crimped JT pins onto the brown/white & brown earths from the head/dash coolant sensor and popped them to the 2 earth pins, and did the same for dash temp sender wire. the brown/whirte wire needs earthing to head so when i do those i add a length of wire spliced to the brown/white near the mk2 coil airea, and run this to the side of the head. the ecu connector i run into scuttle via the middle hole where ecu loom used to go, and i also drag the mk2 wiper plug back and thru here too. then the old wiper hole is where i run the 2nd half of the mk4 ecu loom
Yeah easy Mine is VR6 already so slightly different. Need to rip apart the other looms and see what i have got to play with. Im hoping to use as much of the MK4 loom as possible, Including the fan controller part. Its currently wired up to use the MK3 one but it all looks plug & play
try it in a mk3 golf, way more difficult due to the way the looms route well i would use a new donor mk2 loom rather than cutting up the vr conversion loom but its your call
I have a spare MK3 VR6 loom to cut up. I bought everything twice so i can sell the VR6 as a conversion ready to go. Although a mate has his eyes on it
Has anyone got the oil temp sensor (yellow/black wire in the sump connector) working for the MFA (Corrado in my case)? Weirdly, oil level/temp is completely missed of the APX wiring diagram. Thanks Alex
what i do is ignore the mk4 sensor wiring completly, and instead leave the old mk1/2/3 oil pressure and temp wires in the loom. then just swap old sensors over and plug in!
Cheers for the reply. Yep, I've left the 2 x oil pressure wires and oil temp wire in the Corrado loom. Not sure what you mean about the sensors. I can't visualise my old oil temp sensor, where do you integrate this into the engine? I take it this simple approach won't work then. Is the in-sump 20vT sensor signal not compatible with the clocks/MFA? Oil Temp - using the in-sump 20vT sensor connect the yellow/black wire (again in the 14 pin connector) up to the equivalent in Corrado loom. Oil pressure - using the 20vT sensor, connect the black insulated 20vt wire (in the 14pin plug) to both the equivalent Corrado wires (probably change to 2 sensors for low and high pressure in the future) Cheers for your help Sorry if this is a stupid question! Alex
the old oil temp sensor is a small white colar jobber, on the 16v its on the back of the head. on vr6 i guess its in filter housing? use the 2 oil pressure switches off the old engine either way as mk4 only has 1 and its the wrong rating for mk1/2/3/corrado dash. i think the mk4 filter housing has 3 oil holes so you're sorted, otherwise use a sump plug adaptor or a T piece or whatever. thing with the sump sender is it may not be the correct rating, its also a low level warning so im pretty sure the signal wont be compatible. you can always give it a try though, black/yellow is oil termp and level warning, brown is earth and black/blue is ign live. as i say, mk4 oil pressure switch isnt the right rating so cant be used. you could use the mk4 wire with 1 of your oil switches, but you would still need to run a separate wire for the other one as your dash needs both of the sensors to work. its far neater imo to just run the 3 corrado wires taped together to the filter housing rather than 1 on its own, plus the mk4 wire
