any ideas?
« on: 25 May 2009, 02:04 »
As i'm trying to put my car back to how it should be i keep finding cables etc not plugged in, so i need soome help with where they go to.

This is coming off the inlet


This is coming out the bulkhead head



Also there is a flat earth like cable coming from the bottom of the coilpack, but it's doing nothing

1. should go to back of the clocks if its a GTI, runs the mpg gauge on the mfa
2. heated washer jets I beleive, not the end of the world
3. runs to an earth plate on the back of the head somewhere :)

that is determined by the age of car. if hazard switch on column its a later CE2 electrics with single plug clocks, if on dash its early CE1 car with 2 plug clocks.

that is for the airbox warm air feed pipe, if its got a k&n then it can be capped off.  I just get a new pipe and run it from the nipple direct to the fpr.  also check round the back, there should be another blanked off vac pipe back there.
