Adzer Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well finally got the exhaust made, gear linkage working and sorted all the loose ends, went to start the car and noticed straight away something was wrong, turned out cyl 3&4 are not firing. Now it's not starting at all Think the ignition module has gone as these are common to fail.Anyway got it back on its wheels tonight and I've forgot how low the car sits, so much so I don't think I'm gonna get out my drive without smashing my sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norpan Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) engine loom from the 1.8t engine, unplug the loop engine loom down by the gearbox and mate the 2 looms togetherThe same way I did it in mine, just made an adaptercable to fit between the two. And then just cut into a few other wires on themain loom to get k-line, etc...Great work by the way! We solved many things the same way... : ) Edited November 26, 2012 by Norpan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
