hi guys ! today i have taken out the old 7a loom and placed the aby loom. it was little tricky to do, but must be patient. i used the same hole as the old loom used. did u guys do that too? i havent connect the connectors yet, but i should do it as soon as i got time =)

I have done that and as you say patience is a must, on the 3B the battery tray is right nelow the hole to remove and refit the loom, but what a pig of a job as you have to remove the steering dumper as well to give you more room and that is a job and an half

Have you got to remove the dashboard?? Or can it be done without doing this??

I removed the complete dash as I wanted to change the heater metrix.

hi i didnt need to remove my dashboard =) so next thing i got to do is to connect the wires to the safebox. i have marked up everything from the old loom, so now what i had understand from you guys i just need to put the wires with the same color at the same places as the old. i have a question and that is, there is one wire from the old 7a loom who is a thick red one and connects with a black connector to the safebox, and the new loom doesnt have anyone red so thick with the same connector??

have a nice holiday

you have to run that to the positive to the battery as a extra cable

Ok cool, shame i dont get my new loom until end of april Could ave done that mod this weekend! Need to get myself some coils to throw in there. Just to make sure... I take it the A4/S3/S4 coils push into the head OK onto the spark plugs?? I tried one from the old mans Passat V5 and that doesnt pass into the head

As we are on the subjet of wiring I am in the process of converting a 3B to ABY complete with wiring loom, I found no probem and is fairly straight forward apart from the pulling, pushing, cutting etc, all of the connectors are straight forward swap, except for one and I cannot find any info on it.
On the 3B main loom going below the fuse board there is a 4 or 5 way red flat connector, that connects to some further loom, (behind the auxillary relays) but on the ABY there is no such red connector on the main ECU/engine loom, has anyone got some info on this?
Your help will be greatfully received.

Further to this red connector T5h I found out that this is related to the Air Con, so if the engine wiring loom that you are fitting does not have it means it came out of a car with no Air Con.

anyone got a diagram for an ABZ engine?

Told you so

But the ABY loom doesnt have this? Do you need to run the cable from the battery to the fusebox then as a new wire??
