    Think it's the other side of the head at the back
    From what I saw of the kit
    I could be wrong though
    Will look and see if I can find the one I saw

    Ever did I till I was looking at blanks
    I can't see why they don't just blank it like you did
    I am hoping the second one is the same as the one you have already blanked
    And i'd just make the blanks myself

    personally i would leave the wires in but cut, since without the wires in place the rear of the plug is no longer waterproof. you can get round plugs for the junior timer pins but the mini ecu pin seals are just a lump of rubber which is pierced thru when the wires are added. smear o silicone would do the job tho

    Ah that's decent Ian - Wish I had known that the diaphragm valve was a separate piece as I eventually found out earlier today (just seen your post now) Just lifted all the SAI gubbins out today and will attack the wiring sometime this week.

    Big thanks to Eddie for coding it out in the first place :thumbup:

    Anyone any suggestions on decent loom tape at a reasonable price as I'm just about ready to strip out the SAI wiring?

    Edit: Bought a 25m roll of TESA cloth tape so hopefully more than enough to re-wrap the potion from under the battery tray to the bulkhead box

    I bought 10 rolls of loom tape thinking I would use loads, only to end up using a little over 1 of them doing the 20v loom into my mk2

    I use tesa or scapa rayon loom tape, whatever bulk deal comes up bargainous on the bay of e. usually scapa as tends to be way cheaper than tesa, exactly the same gear though. i also use coroplast make as well, usually thats the cheapest for the more fury stuff used inside the car on the mk4 and again is same quality as equivalent tesa or scapa stuff.

    10 rolls is excessive for sure, thats the kind of bulk I buy in and it still lasts me ages :lol:

    Started ripping all this wiring out tonight. Typically it hasn't rained for weeks so guess what happens next? Heavens open.

    Rain wasn't the game stopper as it turns out I am light on PVC tape and also came across a sneaky boobytap as well;

    I discovered a grey/black wire soldered onto the blue/yellow 12V switched feed under the twin Relay box. I traced it back and it appears to go into a small black plastic box under the intake snorkel mounted to the inner wing just behind the headlight. Jonny do you have any idea what this might be as it would likely save me a few hours trailing through ELSA?

    It's shown below coiled up and it disappears into a plastic box pretty much to the right of where the fuse bus/terminal block is hanging:

    Traced this weird additional wire back to multiplug T14a - it is soldered to wire 14 (Grey/Blue) - Trouble is I cant find any reference to pin 14 in the VW diagrams! I'm tempted to hook the battery up and try to start it and then get VCDS on it to see if any codes are logged.


    Ah- Think I may just have found it. I'm looking on a 2.8 wiring diagram (facepalm) doh! Pin 14 is for the exhaust flapper valve N321 - It's tied high so guessing this will throw a fault if disconnected. VCDS laptop is getting dusted off!
