Where is the ECU plug on a MK3?
On a MK3 loom I run the large ecu plug in with the wiper loom on the driver side , leaving the ecu grommet on the passenger spare for the other loom. On the MK1 again I use the wiper loom hole into the scuttle, though you may want to make the hole larger if its an older car.
How to wire a glow plug on a diesel?
If you have an early one without a supply pump use a 67/80/167 fuel pump or MK1/2/3 glow plug relay in your fuel pump socket , and run your glow plug power with suitable inline fuse to large spade N for CE1, or Z/1 for CE2. This will make it as per OEM MK1/2/3 diesels. If you have a later one with a pre-supply pump, you can either add your fuel relay above the fusebox triggered from T10w/7 like how it is on a MK4, or my personal preference is use the fuel pump relay socket for this then that way you can use a factory mk1/2/3 GTI rear wiring loom to power the pump and instead fit the glowplug relay above the fusebox. The diesel engined cars have the ECU relay inside the car, I would put it above the fusebox as per the notes below. Also note T6/4 differs on the diesel lumps, on the petrol engines its permanent live but in the diesel it expects a ECU relay power feed. So feed this with the output from your external ECU relay along with all of the other ECU relay power feeds.
How to wire a relay on a DBW loom?
With the DBW looms you have 2 choices with the main ECU/coil power rela y, either leave the factory relay box in place and mount it to the scuttle or move the relay to the fusebox area. I wouldn't recommend you use the factory socket on a CE2 fusebox, it is unlikely to be able to take the load. If you move the relay the old purple trigger wire from the ECU will need to go to the ECU relay pin 85. When mounted above the fusebox you could use a 109 relay or a standard switched live relay see the notes below. You can of course just ignore the purple wire and wire it as per standard AGU looms if you do that the ECU will flag a code.
What size plug do you need for an MK4 loom?
All you really need from the donor MK4 are both halves of the ECU loom, then to make the loom my way you will also need a 10 or 14 pin plug cut out of a donor MK4 so the 2nd half of the ECU loom can simply plug in. Early MK4 looms use a 10 pin plug, later looms use a 14 pin.
How to wire a CE2 fuse box?
For CE2 fusebox this is easy, pop a wire to W/1 and usually you are done. For GTI MK2, all MK3 and corrado this pin is always active. For poverty spec MK2 you will need to either change the clocks for GTI ones, or you can add the speed sensor to the back of the clocks. You might need to change the clock wiring as well, the MFA stalk wires are not fitted on non-GTI but I'm not 100% sure on the VSS signal wire. It runs from U2/2 on the fusebox to pin 7 on the clocks anyway.
Can you live without a DFM wire?
you can live without the DFM wire afaik, but I always put it in for my customers as I also run the blue alternator charge wire with the right plug to match the MK4 alternator cabling to make life as easy as possible. To do this on a MK1 or MK2 I move the alternator blue wire from the headlight loom to the engine loom, MK3 Golf, Corrado and a few others already have the alternator wire in the engine loom so sorted already. For the alternator blue wire on CE2 its pin F/3, CE1 its D/4.
