Hi guys
finally got round to installing the above (loom provided by SteveP)
I have the yellow wire through the bulkhead grommet and now need to fasten the pin into the ABS controller behind the battery - which I have removed after taking the battery out - so far so good.
In the instructions it says to unlock the connector using a screwdriver - I have done this but then what?
How do I gain access to the rear of the connector block to insert the new cable into 35 pin? or am I missing something?
Car is currently "disabled" whilst I work this out so any help appreciated!
Thanks

You need to unclip the backshell from the connector to enable you to push the wire in from that side..
-
It's this bit where I've got myself stuck!

I've unlcoked the connector but without breaking the housing what do I do to get access?

Thanks Mike
I can see a hole for the wire with a rubber bung/plug in it - just remove this? then slide the wire through?
-
Yes, you can use a cocktail stick or something like that to push it out from the other side.

Good man!
Off back down to the garage to have another go - will be back to update in a while :cool:

Wire in, connector back on etc. Just to code now when I get access to VCDS.

I've fully reassembled mine now but if I can get some shots and words to support Steve's guid I will do.

Most impressed Adrian.
How long did it take you to complete this intricate needlework? :smile:
-
Well, as I was being careful to follow Steve's guide and not having done much of this before I'd say 45 minutes in total and that included removing/replacing all the trim and the battery
-
Cocktail stick worked for me.
One issue I did have was that I had some fun errors on the display and the steering kept trying to force me off the road. A simple restart fixed the issue, but I assume that the ABS doesn't like being disconnected and needs to remind itself of a few things.

It will do that if you disconnect the battery :smiley:

I have also recently installed the wiring loom from steve and thanks to his excellent guide it went without a hitch,the most difficult part was passing the wire through the bulkhead.A worthwhile mod,everything works like a dream.
