    Right I have one more issue I need to iron out.
    The vss sensor in my o2j box is the standard one. pretty sure my loom builder has left on the 3 pin plug for my old sensor. This has black, blue/white and brown wires in that order.
    my question is what sensor can I use that will match my plug?
    One from 16v o2a??
    Thanks again.

    Ok so vr6 one should work. Seen a couple of these online.
    Are they the electric ones or cog
    driven?

    the 02a/j ones have a cog inside the box and the sensor screws down on top to convert it to electric :)

    8v one won't work as it's for 020 box. The heritage one is for automatic, but it might still work actually the auto manual cables work on 02a/j box.if the drive peg is trimmed down a bit...

    the part you're after is 191919149D, few on ebay but kinda pricey. sort of thing people throw away after mk1/2 abf/vr6/tdi swaps so if you post up a wanted add here and various facebook classifieds im sure someone can help.

    or splice the mk4 plug onto your wiring loom and keep the 02j sensor, pinout is same just the plug on it that differs
