I've asked before but never got a answer.
I'm gonna put the vr lump in my gti because, I can't sell the vr as a car without taking a huge loss. (Keeping the gti lump)
So I have everything I need and can do it easily but here is the question.
Will I be able to keep the standard gti laser alarm with the vr6 loom?
The vr6 has a after market alarm and I don't want to use it.
I don't know anything about this part help please.

I don't know for sure but would hazard a guess yes because it's either plug n play as its standard and will therefore still be plug n play with the vr lump/loom or it's added into the gti loom at the dealers so could be added into the vr loom in the same way.......that make sense?
-
Yes it should be an easy job, Your Laser alarm will be wired in the same as any other aftermarket alarm because as far as I know no alarms for the mk3 were factory fit. It was no doubt a dealer fit.
When I did an engine conversion it was just a case of finding the alarm wires that are linked into the engine harness and then wiring them to the new engine harness after the swap.

In my experience all factory alarms were wired into the car loom, not the engine loom. They are generally bridged onto the starter motor live feed which isn't on the loom you will be replacing so happy days :wink:

Sweet as nice one guys :cool:

When i removed my laser alarm there was one wire going to the engine loom under the scuttle panel (BLACK) wire it was part of the immo side of things just traced it and rejoined...

Nice cheers mate. Ill label them up.

Gti AC pump same as vr6? Will it all bolt up ok?
-
Anyone know if the gti air con can be used on the vr6?
-
Had a look on Vagcat for ya and the compressor itself looks the same but the mounting bracket is different.
As for the rest of the aircon I would assume they are the same.

Lovely job! that's the part I was worried about so thank f**k they are the same.
Bracket and couple of hoses are nothing to worry about.

I did say "looked" the same, however they do have different part numbers and some of the hoses definitely are different.

You would think on a vr6 that they have a longer route to travel, should be able to mix and match though?

All I'm worried about is the pump. Ill fab a bracket up if I need to.
