ABF conversion - a couple of finishing up questions

[Diamond Hell 0]

1. We took a relay out and can't remember where the damned thing goes and this is what the fusebox looks like:

 

 

Motor seems a bit flat at the moment, so I'm wondering whether it's something like the lambda relay.

 

Of course, it might be some KE-jet black magic thing I don't need any more.

 

The relay out either has 72 or 73 on it, but it's outside and I'm inside and it's f*cking cold out there right now! I'll get the part number tomorrow.

 

2. Electronic speedo drive

 

The one damned plug we didn't notice was missing from the engine loom was the speedo drive. After all, it's the same fusebox and we're using the same plugs so the same electrical connections must be in there, right? WRONG. It's not in the Golf3 loom, but it is still in the flinking Corrado loom.....

 

Has anyone else come across this issue? Can anyone else recommend the right tool to remove the pins from the plugs in the Corrado loom so I can splice in the speedo, please?

 

Cheers.

There is a tool available to remove them, I simply cut old hacksaw blades with tin snips to make what kinda look like tweasers, they bend outta shape pretty quick tho

IS there any sort of a knack involved in getting the fusebox re-located?

 

It seems very tight in there.

 

Are the dip beams on individual connectors?

 

Bloody electrics - what a pain.

Hard to relocate the fuseboard because all the wires are set-up for it being there,

H'mmmm, while I appreciate it's 'supposed to be there' I was wondering whether there were any routing guidelines for the wires.

 

Does anyone have a link to any of the tools to release the connectors?
