Hey I got some VDOs for the mk2 im looking to wire in on a 16v KR Whats the best wires to piggy back onto Wireing diagrams http://clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145317 http://www.bentleypublishers.com/tech/vw/bentley.vw.fuse.panel.rear.1989-1997.htm Is this needed for the rear temp sender if I want to keep the MFA sender too? side mount Where can you get the bulb inserts from Which connection on the oil filter housing should be replaced by the twin pole sender part number 0-5 bar 035919561 must be part number 30/80 0.3+0.15 bar Cheers Craig
twin pole sender replaces the black collar sender (low pressure blue wire) put the blue wire from the stock sender to the twin pole and the other terminal of the twin pole is to the vdo(black/green wire) as for oil temp you do need a t piece in the back of the head,use the stock sender 049919563A for the mfa and blue audi sender for vdo (which iv not tested to confirm this yet) 049919563B (blue/black or blue/white )cant remember youl find the light bulb holders in an audi
Cheers both Would Pirtek sell the T Peice? someone mentioned RS parts for the bulb holders dont know how true that is
got the loom from the audi,took the relay out cause i didnt know what that was for and bridged the grey/red and grey/blue together took the illumination wire (grey/blue) to the grey/blue wire on the cig lighter brown from the loom to brown on the cig lighter for earth black/blue to an ign feed grey/brown-dont use blue/white to two pole sender green/black to oil temp sender,for now havnt sorted this with the t piece yet so its just using the mfa one and reads 130 degrees atm,but it should go to the audi blue coller sender in the t,which i think is the part number that ends in B i did a test between the two senders,the one ending in A read 0.98 ish and B read 2.7 ish thy seem do differ everytime i test them but i suppose it depends on room temp and body temp as your holding them
i relocated the oil temp sender to the sump plug, because it read 130 deg when connected to the vdo but only 80-90deg when connected to the mfa. it now reads the same as the mfa. could just be luck tho
You need the T piece to run the MFA and the VDO oil temps. I was real confused at first. You cant just connect two wires to one sensor as you get a '0' reading. might be worth a read. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=102306.0 For the lights I hot glued some white LED's to the rear and have an OEM glow to them which is ok with me. Im also looking for the original bulbs and holders.
you can get the bulbs and holders on ebay i got some led ones so i dont have to worry about changing the bulbs the holders are the twist and lock type like these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-x-Blue-LED-...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318 these are supposed to get power through the tags at the top when they make contact with whatever your fitting them too like the dash light bulbs but as the back of the vdo guages are plastic i just soldered the illumination wires to the back of the bulb contacts hope this helps math
audi vdo wiring does anyone know where the brown/grey wire comes from on the audi vdo's,it goes to the 3 pin relay in the illumination circuit
VDO Guages i used this guide when doing my 8v http://forum.performancevwmag.com/viewtopic.php?t=37974 i cut the ashtray out of my centre console then cut up a piece of sheet steel and put 3 holes in it to put the audi gauges in (all 3 just fit nicely) and used the short audi loom which came with the guages. looks the sex
did you take the relay out ? where did you wire the brown/white wire to ? did you bridge blue/grey with red/grey ?
going to have a go to wire the vdo's into the mk1,ive got the audi loom and the mk1 has no mfa and its the kr engine.any one got any tips on the wires i'm not going to need,just asking as ive never done this before cheers dan
doesnt matter if you dont have mfa just wire as per post 7 but you will need the correct sender in the back of the head for oil temp
any ign feed on the fusebox ,just make sure nothing is on when you test for a feed,you dont wanna wire it to the rear heated window or anything
