ryanmac 10 Posted May 14, 2011 Hi all I picked up sean jaymos old vr6 yesterday and it is a nice car but needs a little work done on it. The dashboard is out because he had an electrical problem that resulted in some melted wiring. It has a new fusebox sitting but needs the loom replaced or repaired. What I was wondering though is I have a wiring loom the was removed from a mk3 golf gti cabrio. Would that fit or do I specifically need a corrado wiring loom.

VR6 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Knowledge of Mk3 Cabrio's .... pretty poor - but I would suggest you're going to need a Corrado/VR6 loom or you'll spend a long time trying to wire it all up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryanmac 10 Posted May 17, 2011 I can't seem to get hold of a loom for a vr6 and only one for the 16v cars so my next question is does anyone know where I can get the electrical connection plugs for the clocks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryanmac 10 Posted May 18, 2011 I have managed to get hold of a wiring loom that was removed from a mk3 golf 2l 8v injection cabriolet. The plugs for the clock go straight in....woohoo and the plugs going into the fusebox have the same missing pins so I thought it would be a straight plug in and away we go but I have noticed from your fusebox faq that there is a couple of differences like: Plug U1 Golf mk3 14 dash plug pin 12 dash and digital clock bulbs Corrado 14 dash plug pin 12 dash bulbs Plug U2 Golf mk3 2 - wht - Dash plug pin 7 (cruise control unit pin 5, 2.0 16v motronic control unit pin 2?) Corrado 2 - vio - Dash plug pin 7 (speedometer output signal: cruise control unit pin 5, spoiler control unit, ECM pin 65, radio) Golf mk3 none Corrado 3 - yel - Dash plug pin 18 (seat belt warning) golf mk3 10- wht - Dash plug pin 18 (handbrake warning light) Corrado None Golf mk3 13- wht - Dash plug pin 5 (earth to cylinder head) Corrado 13- brn/wht - Dash plug pin 5 (earth & stalk memory switch pin 1) These are the only differences in the wiring that I can see. What do I do about it? They are both ce2 fuseboxes. The one difference with the golf wiring loom is it has 2 spare wires with plugs on the end that I cant see where they go. ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryanmac 10 Posted June 5, 2011 all I have almost finished all the rewiring in the corrado but have four bits that have me completely stumped.....The first one is A four pin plug with the colours Red/Green, Brown/Blue, Blue/Green, Brown/Red. The loom is located beside the fan blower and runs down the side to the seat rails, across the car and up and out behind the fusebox. The loom that connects into it is the same colours but at the far end of it it has the two wires for the top right hand side dash board speakers. The other wire is a random green wire that comes out the ecu, across the dashboard and into the drivers footwell 3rd one is in the wiring loom for the clocks and it is purple and white with a single spade connector on the end with terminal 30 on the wire....but where is terminal 30 4th one is a black one on the wiring loom for the stalks and it is a single black wire with terminal 50 but again where is terminal 50 Can anyone help me.........
