a few abf questions

[oakgreengolf]

If the 4 branch doesn't work can I use the ABF down pipe or do I need a 16v one

Also can anyone help me locate where this wire goes, its from connection bock f



Thank alot

The MK3 manifold n downpipe will fit, you'll just need to find a way to bridge the gap between the flange on the downpipe and your front silencer.  A MK3 cat bypass pipe would probably be a good start, but I dont know what bore the MK3 pipe will end at?

As for that wire is it green/red, and I asssume thats from the ABF engine loom right?

[oakgreengolf]

Yes mate it is the ABF loom. I threaded it all through the bulkhead and a came out of the connector. Havn't a clue where it goes now . Few other wires too i'm unsure about, ill tackle that when i get there. Also do you know if the cross member of the toledo will fit the golf as the rad mount will obviously be spot on.

what year toledo, and do you mean both halves of the subby or just the rad support bit?

edit: I've just checked, for all years of toledo fitted with an ABF the radiator support half is the same as a MK2 one, the only difference is the engine support half allows you to use the MK3 style ABF front engine mount

the donor car wasnt an automatic was it?

[rubjonny]

ok I'm 70% sure it goes to F/9, which is for the rev counter feed.  Can you check G1/12 on the ABF loom to see if there is a red/black wire there?

[oakgreengolf]

no not an auto, 1995. Yes just the rad support. I did notice the engine mounting is slightly different. could this be used too??

ok can't see red/black wire in g1?. Theres one in f

[oakgreengolf]

I wonder whether the front engine mounts make the engines sit higher or lower? might help with the 4 branch maybe.
