This is how she stands at the moment dash is fitted but not 100% so i can remove for access if need be..

I know in one of the pictures there is a VDO sensor from the mk2 clocks does this get fitted if using mk3 clocks or ??

I hope you've got things running prior to winding up that engine loom!!



Earths - pretty much anything brown like that needs to go on the earths connector - a baskety thing up by the fuseboard.



Main power feed - goes in the back of the fuseboard - find something that will take it.



Stereo plug



Stereo again - power not speakers.

Thanks mate any ideas on the yellow 1 wire plug from the fusebox theres a couple of these i think not going into nothing ??

The power for the speaker is good atleast i know where that is now.. the speakers have been re-wired with proper speaker wire and not very well so will re-do this after ive got the engine in an running..

And na ive wrapped it before the engine is running lol.. i have faith though as RubJonny made the loom if worse comes to worse can unwrap and rewrap at later date

They may never have been fitted in to anything.  Go find another Golf of similar vintage and compare is your best bet

My 10 pence worth.  I think the yellow is the Dim Dip (headlights) control wire.  Had similar on mine and is not required.

When I rewired the MK1 I was lost with a yellow wire with no home and everything worked!... In some countries dim dip is required, the equivelant of DRLs but they use your headlights at 30% during the day until you actually turn your headlights on.  I could be wrong when it comes to your car but this is what I found with mine.

Did you keep it ?

It does make sense and i suppose it's less hastle for VW to leave it there. I will see when I plug the battery in to whether stuff works lol
