  1. The ecu does indeed have an earth return, I don't remember the exact wire but it'll have brown insulation. I haven't seen a 16v loom in 10 years since I last broke one..

    As long as the car runs ok, starts etc I wouldn't worry.


  2. Just looks like someone in the past has added on an

    Extra earth wire. I've had three corrados and dismantled loads and

    all the earths had brown insulation, not black, like the wire shown.

    Does everything work? Maybe at one point extra equipment was added on?

    Just remove it I the car has no issues.


  3. Seems that the wrong wires have been fitted on the wrong sensors.

    The sensor at the back of the cylinder head, above the exhaust manifold is the oil temp. Sender that

    You check by using the onboard computer button MFA.

    The other sensor under the dist. Is the water temp. Sender for the instrument gauge.

    Just swap over the crossed wires and the gauge should work.


  4. Wasn't my intension Jay, just to warn you of the possible consequences..

    The cleaning is the least of the problem, it's actually getting them dried out afterwards that's the bugger. I've tried dunking them in hot, soapy

    water and then force drying them with compressed air, fine on the outer bits but thanks to the metal bulb cover (At least on the second series lamps)

    you cannot get to the center part of the light, the air will just force the water side to side.. Bent pipe cleaners could also work.

    Give it a go mate, nothing to loose 'cause if you do break a glass i have spare foglamps available!!


  5. Risky, you could crack the Glass if heated too much, How Will you Know when they are too hot?

    The sealant sers Like concrete and very difficult to remove, both off the glass and worse still out of the actual housing and that's if you get the glass of in 1 piece..

    The only sealant I ever use when replacing the lense is made by Sika, white marine sealant used on boats.

    Try it, you might be lucky and succeed.


  6. Allright Spen,

    As you can see,dingle got his goods yesterday safe and sound. I've no doubt your parcel will turn up, be a bit difficult to loose it!

    Did you try the tracking number?


  7. Looks very nice mate, good colour too.

    Get rid of that awful interwarmer for a start, lower temp. thermostat and fan switch next, then check the probably crusty

    ingector wiring harness.. fit a decent oil cooler in place of the original afterthought fitted by Vw, next it's time for a no-lag SNS eprom in the Digifart ecu.

    Whilst your in there change the g60 cogged timing belt too.

    If your stuck for bits there's a few of us on here to help you out.

    Enjoy it!!


  8. I've done a few Weber/iaw set-ups over the years. Used to get hold of wiring looms of cars

    Like old Lancias and retro fit them onto mainly corrados and the odd golf 2 valvers I turboed back in the day. I don't see why you couldn't do it using your vr' loom. What your trying to achieve is very similar

    To a mate of mine who's done the exact same thing using AEM software on his Toyota mr2 turbo, the easy thing being that AEM already sell the adaptor that conveniently plugs into the Toyota's o/e ecu..

    Disconnect your loom, isolate inputs such as air temp, crank sensor position, throttle angle sensor, water temp. Sensor for the ecu to calculate the correct mixture, cam position sensor (If present).

    Get six COP coils off say, a Toyota or Vw and wire in the ignition pick UPS if your engine is running coil pack, if not use the hall sender signal.

    I make it sound a piece of **** but it is quite involved..

    I retrofitted an entire 8 injector Pectel Weber L8 system original fitted on a crashed 4x4 sierra cosworth and used the wiring loom lifted off a Lancis delta evo-1 with twin MAP sensors, all worked fine till around 1.3 Bar turbo pressure, then the Pectel's extra 4 injectors cut in but the engine ran too rich.

    I say go for it mate and use your loom.

    Your lucky down in the UK, tuners virtually everywhere, unlike here in Italy where most can't even reprogramme aftermarket stuff.
