Simons 89 small bumper 8v fixup thread

Hmm no sign of plug or white wire]

 

Hold on whilst searching for plug something has gone up in smoke on the wiring to steering column stalks in the past. Rj commented on my melted headlight switch white and black switch wire earlier in thread. I wonder if that's why I have non mfa stalks?


More melts to stalks wiring plugging into steering column

 

Would appreciate that Rj. No mfa for me today.

 

Well since mfa is on hold turned my attention to rear foglight inoperative and hunted down grey and yellow wire to behind fusebox. Not connected to anything and wrapped in green tape

Connected wire to m which has 12v when headlight switched on

No smoke and yay

 

Well done pal, I had odd thing with my wipers, push the stalk and front wipers came on, pull it and nothing, fitted a new stalk, swapped the wires to pump around and hey presto sorted.

 

I think everyone needs a multimeter as a tool on vehicle when fault happens. Now for rear demister not working then dashboard back in.

 

The blue wire is what's connected to what's left of the white black to fusebox also running to melted black white at headlight switch. Somebody must have nicked their mums toaster cable and borrowed the neutral to rewire the meltdown.

 

Just ordered a passive underseat sub kenwood.

I have counted 20 speakers in golf when I got it with 3ways and 2 ways.have removed some 6x9 and shelf. Need a filler for bass.

 

Put the kenwood passive underseat sub in today.
Wow. What a difference. Don't run it out of phase sounds great.

 

Brown trouser moment. Went to start him after few weeks. Cranking but no fire. Removed plugs cylinders full of fuel wet plugs. Spat fuel over engine bay whilst cranking . Forgot to remove ht lead from coil.
Whoof engine bay on fire.
Ran to get anything to put it out. Returned with washing up bowl all gone out
Phew

 

Didn't have time for youtube vid

 

Returned I fear the worst. Cylinders locked with fuel. Pulled fuse 5 so fuel pump wouldn't prime. Got it started off lift pump? after drying out cylinders. Ecu is soaking wet with this silly rain and it drips on the plug in loom as part of the cover is not there. Sump full of petrol

 

What digifant ecu will I need? 89 8v small bumper. Has anyone got one I can buy?

 

Thanks Rj. Found a blown track
