ok look behind the fusebox for G1/5 see if its there, and check for F/3 while there for a blue for the alternator: http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?219775 yellow/brown might be the G1/5 one if it had a ring terminal on it
Yeah it had a ring connector on it , just in the process of ripping out the dash to make things easier
with g1/5 before you start chasing it back into the loom get yourself a random bit of wire earth 1 end and stuff the other end into the back of g1/5. if it doesn't help with the clocks issue then no need to worry about it, problem is elsewhere. if it does fix it then you could just earth it behind the fusebox rather than dig into the car harness to find it, makes no real difference. regardless you'll need to dig in to find the alternator blue wire though
eurgh look at all that mess you have uncovered in just that 1 area. deffo get your money back he has made a right mess of it
I've opened up a case with eBay to try and get my money back . Hopefully people will see this , it's the ad from eBay , steer clear , lads name is Mathew Holmes from thirsk Yorkshire
Finally picked up my throttle cable yesterday . Ummmmmm it's only about 60cm long ?!?!? When you said 1.4 1.8 spi , did you mean a mk3 1.4 or mk4 john ? I ordered it for a mk3 1.4 ?!?
where did you order it from? the SPI cables all the same for codes ABD, AAM, ABS and ABU part number 1H0721555D. Looking at this catalogue I have to hand the length is listed to be 1200mm? I have the closest match I can see for 600mm is a GTI cable 1H0721555A/J?
This is the cable I got given .... t Im going back to the motor factors in a bit , I'll order the one you listed above . Just been looking over my loom in shame ...found this ...twisted but not connected to anything
Blag .....just spent ages in the motor factors trying to source this throttle cable , got in the car and rang vw , the part has been discontinued I need to find a car with the cable I need so I can give them the reg to get the correct one
christ knows what that cable is, it certainly aint an SPI cable. This is the one on heritage, fair bit longer and the pedal end is pretty different? https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/1H0721555D/accelerator-cable-mk3-golf-92-95/ the one above isn't in stock at heritqage though, but the later version is available and easier to find on ebay as well: https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/1H0721555R/accelerator-cable-for-1-4-1-8-mk3-golf-95-98/ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292010615995 hmm lots of lovely wiring there
After stripping the loom these are some of the connected wires that I've uncovered .... do any stand out to people as wrong ?! Going down the loom from the larger ecu connector... Thick blue/yellow : thick rigid white White/grey : white/grey Red/purple : thick red Thick black : thick red black White/purple : black Purple/black : medium black + white/black Brown/green : green/black White/blue : white/blue Further down the loom White/black : white purple Thick brown : thick brown + white/brown (g1/5 wire) Loose blue/red Green/black : yellow Purple : yellow/red White/blue : white/blue Yellow/black : brown Med white/black : thin white/black Med black : med black Purple/black : thin brown/red + red/white + solid white Wires cut near ecu connector not used.... Red/blue Green Red/green Brown/black White/green Red/white Red/white Orange/black Orange/brown
when I connect the battery the needles on my dials are going nuts , the wires that have been cut and not connected Were all bunched up and not covered separately etc , so bare wire ends close to each other , even though they've been cut I'm wondering if they could have been earthing out on each other ? Causing the needles to go crazy
