Big session yesterday evening. My mate DannyP came down and got right into the wiring (he's great with wiring, I'm not - play to your strengths!). Because the car is running DigiII with a lambda we're running a European loom, which was from a Golf Cabriolet, so the wiring colours are a bit off. The motor is also not a normal counterflow - it has the crossflow head, wihch means the sensors aren't where the wiring loom was expecting.
In the spirit of international collaboration that underlies vwsyncro.co.uk I then hooked up a webcam on my laptop (sitting on the strut top in the engine bay) and opened a Skype conversation, so ChrisS in Holland could thrash out a few issues with the wiring with Danny. Chris then pulled his mate, Pascal (also in Holland) in over Skype, to help out with a couple of other issues.
I did grab a couple of pictures, but they're not downloaded yet.
It's a reflection on the times that I was working in my workshop, with a guy I met through vwsyncro.co.uk, with a couple of other people in another country helping out (with no call charges!). I think it's bloody amazing and there are some great virtual communities out there.
