    can see the pump studs are clean to about 1/2 way, which suggests the pump was there for a good part of the cars life. so I think you're right, some bastard has had it away :lol:

    I was racking my brain, knowing full well the hall is usually black!
    Good shout John.

    The hall sensor is plugged in, The fuel rail and the ISV are connected. Theres a plug on the gearbox which is plugged in and two plugs for the thermostat bit.
    Its just that white stray connector i cant seem to find a home for. It is 3 pin but its hard to make out the brown wire in the centre of the connector.

    hmmmmmmm. normal digifant cars dont have that plug, so I wonder if its something to do with the testing and modifications that were done back in the day. As it has a red/white wire it might be for lambda probe, though thats not the typical type of connector used for them. whats the part number of your ecu? You could get retro fit cat ecu/loom for digifant cars back in the day, maybe thats what you have

    I wonder RJ would they have had some kind of inline/interrupter in the isv?

    chase the red/white wire in your ecu loom, the side which plugs into ecu not the one which goes to fusebox. a UK spec car would just have this wire cut a couple inches along the loom, one with lambda/retrofit this will be wired to lambda plug its power for the heater.

    037 906 022N is a normal digi ecu, but this may have been changed at some point along the line. see if you can follow the wiring from that 3 pin plug to source as best you can, might be some other random thing added which has nowt to do with ecu at all :lol:

    I called a insurance company this afternoon about the gti and with all my medical history ect. they gave me a quote for 3rd party for £220 for the year. surely that's extremely cheep with no no claims history too ?

    My wife just paid £120ish for insurance with full ncb and no problems, so I reckon that is a good deal for you mate.

    Oh, that's reminded me Dodgy, I was going to pay may way and join as a paid member a few days ago. I remembered that the insurance company asked me if i was a member of a car club or forum. I suppose I am a member of this forum so i should have said yes.
    Do you think that would have been positive or negative on my quote?
    I do get called a member from time to time by my friends anyway!

    Think some give discount if member of recognised club, probably need membership number, well worth supporting the forum by paying the subscription, where would we all be without the knowledge?
    Strangely when getting quotes we had an email back from one specialist modified insurance company saying they cant insure because the car was modified, very odd.

    Not a brilliant picture but these are the wires from the ecu. They all meet together into the brading.
    a little along the brading it splits into two lots of brading and then joins into 1 brade again. I dont see any point in that.
    Does that make sense?


    loom2.jpg
    The whole braded cable then goes though the nearest grommet into the engine bay.

    loom3.jpg loom4.jpg

    There seems to be braded earth leaving the main wiring onto the rocker cover also the two earths were attached in the same place coming from the same ecu wiring. I reattached them, but again why? Well the white connector comes from the same lot of wiring too.
    Most of the wiring was labelled once but the ink wore off so I removed them, there's one or two labels left but reveal nothing as they are blank. That would of been handy if they were still attached and readable.
    Talking about reading, I'll stop there and and let you have a break until to the new chapter of you lot sharing your knowledge with me.
    Thanks

    Yeah dodgy,
    They may think cos your a member of a club it most likely that you would modify and upgrade. Maybe they wouldnt if it was a Morris Minor club or similar.

    if the red/white on the plug in the scuttle goes off into the main loom to the bay through the middle hole in the scuttle, that 3 pin plug is for a lambda probe. a factory UK spec MK2 would have maybe 2 inches of red/white wire from that plug cut off, ready for retrofit of lambda if desired later on down the line.

    makes sense that lambda control was specified if it was going to have lots of work done on injection system, but if you have a standard digi ecu now that lambda plug can be ignored

    I've been staying at my parents for a little while as they are away and needed a cat sitter. I have managed to find some old documents, but no results as yet.
    They have a 6 bedroom house and built a 5 bed house next door around 20 years ago.
    I don't think they have ever thrown out any paperwork so the results must be here somewhere.
