    Not to disrespect your soldering skills but I think you may end up chasing electrical gremlins if you cut and solder the loom. Also, I don't think there is much slack at that part of the loom if you intend to re-terminate? Depends on your loom. I can send you the tool in the post, but I'm using it on a current project until 7th October.

    I'm in the process of making a loom for headlight adjusters, but I haven't had time to work it all out yet.

    Here is the info I've found by on the web;

    I have asked before but cant find the thread, after some googling, I understand there is a mod you can do, I have a a coil pack vr6 lump in my 2.0 16v shell, the rev counter is reading way high mostly i belive to it seeing 6 sparks per cycle rather than 4, is there any way of converting the signal ( i have read about a variable resitor under a cover) without having to replace the whole cluster, My car has only 80k on it and have full history with it

     

    Seems like a bit of a bodge, but the I think the method you describe is detailed here;

    Hmmm indeed. There are a few peeps in the states that have swapped to OBD2 that still use the old sensor. You can also get universal sensors that will splice into both. I have used the OBD2 sensor on OBD1 management without problems and presumed that they would be the same. But if Vincent says the later sensor is better and knowing how fickle the VR6 can be, I would go with that and join you in the naughty corner.

    OBD1 and OBD2 throttle bodies are not interchangeable without changing your ECU and wiring. The OBD2 has a stepped ramp, has a smaller butterfly and difficult if not impossible to modify successfully.

    AFAIK there are two factory variants of OBD1 throttle body, one has a stepped ramp and a smaller butterfly (MK3 Golf,Passat,Vento), the other is smooth and has a larger butterfly (Corrado).

    The AMD throttle body has; a butterfly which is a step larger again, low profile centre spindle, countersunk screws, smoothed and polished with a larger overall bore.

    Science do you have any info on your current set up ? Ill do some research on what was standard and see how much bigger the porsche butterfly is as i think its best to go about 2mm bigger

     

    Keep me in mind bud and when it comes to sale time

     

    Current set up can be found under additional info on my user page, but the throttle body has been on the car since I got it. Back then the only other mods were air filter, exhaust and chip. Car always felt quick with a great throttle response and great noise.

    I think 72mm may actually be the size of the bore not the butterfly, I took some photos to compare it to the OBD2 throttle body, I'll see if I can find them.

    I think it used to be a common mod to compliment the Schrick Manifold and 268 cams.

    Only removed due to changing to OBD2. I still have the receipt from AMD, £500 fitted! LOL

    Or maybe there is something on the market to replace the dipstick that acts as both a level and temp sensor?

     

    I've got one on my MK1, it's made by VDO and it's height adjustable for different cars. I'm sure it's compatible with the standard MFA gauge but I'm using an analog VDO gauge. Reads between 5 and 10 degrees lower than the MFA.
