Pointless thread without pics.

Rubbish. No point in putting this up without any pictures.

Fitting an engine loom ain't too bad. It's getting it through the bulkhead that's the pain in the back-side, especially if the engine is still in place! I think you'll have to take the Master Cylinder off to give yourself enough room to get it all in/out. Good luck!

my pics wouldnt upload.... i will sort it later on..... not looking forward to doing the loom.....

Label the old one up... take it out.

Then label the new one up to match the old one... then install it.

Simples!

gee you are full of mearecat goodness!!!! simples......

Dude... if I can do it, I'm sure you can!

3 of us stripped the Jetta out, then stripped a Corrado out, fitted the Corrado stuff into the Jetta and started in... all in one day.

Admittedly, the hardest part was the wiring...!

i have mr golf to help me, who did a vr6 conversion and full rewire in a week, including stripping a mk3 and workin 9-5, so it should happen soon, just need to upload my pictures grrr

Finally you got some pics up,I like it Chris looks like a decent example, whats the wheels that are on it and what size are they, they would make ideal winters.

there 17"s dean, but ive got a set of g60s for track days and winter..... 17s too big on a mk2 in my opinion anyway

any ideas on why this is still overfueling boys and girls, getting kinda irritating to be honest.
