Its Alive!!!!!!!!!!!
hopefully tonight i can get the throttle and clutch cables sorted and get the zaust connected up.
then im left with a couple problems:
1 - gear linkage, not sure if its the mech or the way i fitted it or something, but im having trouble selecting gears and staying in them using the gear stick.
2 - no reverse lights, just need to find out how the gearbox does this. i got the two wires and connector that went on the old gearbox, but there is no where to plug it on the 02a box. will pop to vw to find out about it.
3 - no clocks, so no tacho, speedo, fuel gauge or coolant temp. also the mileage and time screens dont work; but it all lights up and warning lights work too.
4 - wiring nightmare! i got a few spare wires in the bay from the fusebox, i know what a few are for (oil pressure switch, charge indicator, etc). also got a live and an couple that go live with the ignition. put two red ones together (live and ignition live and the fuel pump stays on lol).
<<<<<<<<< ALSO.... one of the wires going from the fusebox to the ignition barrel has melted and smokes when i try to start the car. didnt do this before, so now i cant start it, its as if the battery is flat. so im guessing this wire is taking all the amps or whatever instead of it going to the starter........... >>>>>>>>>>
Im going to have a look at it all tonight, hopefully get driveable (as in cables, zaust, etc). but not sure if i can sort the wiring, will just have to slave over until i can figure it out.
OUT.
