Too Tall 10 Posted March 17, 2016 My current wiring harness is starting to show it's age, wires are ststarting to corrode, and some are exposed. Is the harness off a Passat or golf compatible with the Corrado? I want to replace all the wires, radiator fan plug, engine grounding, ect. I want to wrap all of them and clean up my engine bay.

Jim 1 Posted March 17, 2016 Well then you're in luck - the engine bay wiring harness is available for the VR6 from VW Classic Parts for a very reasonable price - in the region of 100 quid.

Jim 1 Posted March 17, 2016 Weird - it takes me right to the page when I click the link... I don't have an account or anything on Classic Parts either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Too Tall 10 Posted March 17, 2016 Thank you for the link, I'm a first time owner and I'm trying to restore it as close to original as possible. I'm trying to find as many reliable sources as I can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan7690 10 Posted March 17, 2016 If your going for a cable tuck have you thought about going for a standalone system? Few extra quid but you can then have every cable cut to the perfect length without any nasty joins and possibly problems. Also you could easily squeeze a few extra ponies out as well!!

Too Tall 10 Posted March 17, 2016 I have never herd of a stand alone, but now you have my interest. Where do I get one? I'm always willing to pay more for quality and reliability, grandad always said you get what you pay for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted March 17, 2016 If you want to go as original as possible, then a standalone engine management system probably isn't what you're looking for! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Too Tall 10 Posted March 17, 2016 I should have been more specific, original as possible in the way it looks, but not runs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan7690 10 Posted March 18, 2016 I agree Tim, it's not keeping it original as such but there is a lot of potential with a standalone system. Have a look at emerald systems to get an idea in what it involves Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
