What year is your car sift21?

thanks for that info mate,wouldnt av thought of dissconecting tha battery,thanks again

 

Alright, I've had a rummage and ive found two different types I have got one with 11 pins and the part number 191 941 531 M this one is the same as the one on my 90 spec 8 valve Gti and i've got another one that has got 9 pins and the part number 191 941 531 C. I suspect this to be the earlier one if you want it you can have it, I think it's ok wouldn't have kept it other wise. But I do want to keep the later type as a spare. I did take a pic but didn't have a clue how to post it. so count your pins and let me know mate. What area are you in.

 

Yup - plug in the wrong one, and you'll set your car's wiring loom on fire.

 

Ye they look like they fit each other with no probs, but I can imagin it causing mega probs using the wrong one.

 

That's the problem mate - they can be physically interchanged, and hence so many people have melted a few wires because of this. So compare part numbers to be sure.

 

i would still phone gfs and give them ur reg then bu will know for sure alot safer and easyr than trying to get hold of a loom thats discontinued

 

thanks,i will get back to you asap
