MFA Problems

Here's a pic of those connectors:

Looks like its had an alarm fitted then hacked out, thats deffo not factory fitment.  That wire isnt for the sensor its probably for the indicators or something, the oil temp wire will be buried behind the fusebox

The black wire is a spare ign live, the white blue is spare lights on feed and the brown wire will be an earth, if you cant see any other brown wires with no home to go to then its again a spare.  VW had a std loom, and the spare connectors are used for options that were available at the time but not installed

Not sure what the red/black is, could be for an alarm follow it and see where it goes

OK, thanks rubjonny, I'll have to take a look behind the fusebox for the oil temp sensor lead then.

Well after 2 years of no MFA mine is working at last I bought some clocks from Ebay they got delivered this morning and I fitted them at lunchtime! so might be worth changing your clocks out as you have the same symptoms as mine apart from the oil temp sender.
Wish I hadn't in a way because it confirms that I'm getting an average of 21 mpg

Good news you've got yours working.

I'm currently watching a direct match to mine on Ebay. I'll get them if they go for a decent amount.

Know what you mean about the MPG. On my 8V I average 30 to a tank and I know it's supposed to get more. I've had the timing sorted and the emissions are set up right too. Just doesn't make sense.

Hopefully I'll get some clocks soon to try, though will probably be after Christmas the way things are going.
