    Hi Mikhoo, The battery is missing!! The small round connect (last photo) and purple centred plug (second photo) look like they could be from an after-market alarm or something - it doesn't look factory VW. From memory - the only things around that area on the engine are: Cam sender (three pin) next to rear cam wheel Auxiliary water pump (on back or engine - under the large engine wiring connector) Distributor/coilpack (coil pack uses a five pin connector, I've never seen the distributor version) Remove the engine plastics and you will

    Hi Lee, 021 905 377 knock sensor with wiring harness 500MM white Model data: ABV Item 8 here: http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1995/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/906/subcategory/204000/part_id/3704672/lang/e#sec_9 Heritage have them listed at £26.40 each https://www.vwheritage.com/021905377-knock-sensor-for-vr6-vw-spare

    Part number '068198171' is a repair kit: http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1995/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/103/subcategory/2030/part_id/3685688/lang/e#sec_17 VW Heritage list the Repair kit at £40: https://www.vwheritage.com/051198011a-crankcase-gasket-set-16v-most-9a-vw-spare You could try your local dealer - you may be surprised/horrified at the price - but still worth an ask?

    Keep scrolling down... You are looking for g3vr6ecu95on.pdf - this describes the OBD2 engine wiring for the Mk3. This document matched the wiring loom from a 1997 VR6. Also you would need to look for one representing the Mk4 - maybe g4bdeecu.pdf ?? Are you trying to put your Golf3 sensors on the new BHE engine (reasonably simple), or put the BHE engine and sensors/ECU/Immobiliser/clocks into your Mk3?

    Also, have a rummage here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_V9-6xfgGlINzhhM2IyNmItOWRhZS00MzBkLTk2MTEtNGIyZDFmMDg0NWM2 Golf 3 documents start g3, Golf 4 start g4... Have fun!

    Do the rest of the clocks work ok? Is it just he speedo? From memory, the speedo works on a square wave signal whose frequency represents the vehicle speed. Start with the vehicle speed sensor (identified as G22 on wiring diagrams) on the gearbox - pin 3 should be ground - pin 1 should be 12v with ignition on - pin 2 is speed signal which goes to dash through the fusebox (G1/11 on Mk3/Corrado CE2) If the wiring seems ok, can you remove the sensor from the gearbox and manually activate it? (is the sensor working, just not driven by the gea

    It sounds like it isn't the cluster! What do you mean be "everything dies" the minute you start? Does the engine run normally? Is it just the display that doesn't work when the engine is running? The lights and illumination are separate to the engine instrumentation. If you search t'internet for a PDF named g3vr6ecu95on.pdf, you should find a 10 page PDF describing the OBD2 engine wiring for the Golf3/Vento. The cluster is depicted on the last two pages. You could mark up the lamps that are working on the diagram and trace the wires to find so

    Shaun, It could be you need to reset the gear selection mechanism? Try this: I've never done it... Good luck!

    Hi, Replacing your chains is do-able by yourself - its just a lot of work. See here for the gist of what it involves: http://www.vaglinks.com/Docs/VW/MKIV/BethAndJames.com_VW_VR6_12V_TimingChainReplacement_DIY.pdf I thought there was a how-to on here, but I can't find it...

    Those identifiers are standard. 31 is battery -ve 30 is battery +ve 15 is ignition - by turning the key X is load reduction - essential bits, while cranking the starter

    The A2 resource site is your friend: http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html The fuel pump relay is in the fuse box housing position 12 - bottom right. The fuel pump is between pins M/01 (0v) and M/02 (switched 12v via Fuse 18). The ECU activates the fuel pump by making pin 6 on the ECU low. This energises the fuel pump relay passing 12v to the fuel pump.

    Hi, If you are doing all that work, I would say to get the most recent engine you can. Please don't underestimate the work (and space) required - it is truly time and money sapping! If you want a MK3 VR6, why not just get one that runs already? You will have all the parts then. Even more so, if you want the 4motion drivetrain, get a MK4/MK5 as a base. There are plenty of turbo/supercharger modifications documented on here, so have a rummage around. Good luck!

    The yellow plug looks like it could be the connector to the large resistor for the sidelights. The black connector could be for the auxiliary water pump, which should stand upright on the bracket for the large round connector - under the black plastic cover.

    If you are up for an afternoon of work, you can take the inlet manifold off and then the engine cover, you should see the 'top' timing chain. Checking the lower timing chain requires the sump removed, (or gearbox & clutch off to expose the aluminium castings on that end). You could see if they are still in place, or they will be in the sump in a pile! Good luck.

    There is a chap on the-corrado forum who was doing reproductions of fog lights and indicators: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?101747-Fog-light-reproduction&p=1186474&viewfull=1#post1186474 I've not seen them, or bought them, so I don't know if they are any good...

    It should all be doable through the access panel (housing the interior light) - just how you manually closed it.

    The motor should just unscrew from the frame - two counter-sunk posi-drive screws from memory. Refitting requires you to set the motor to the parked position first: # Connect the electrical plug (don't mount the motor to the frame, yet) # Press the Open function - motor turns and stops (10 turns I think) # Press the Close function - the motor turns and parks # Disconnect the plug (so it doesn't move inadvertently) The motor is now set: re-fit it to the frame - ASSUMING the roof is in the closed position. Before investing in another motor,

    I've not done them on VWs, but on you can easily replace the backlight on Impreza switchgear using these 12v wire-ended bulbs: https://www.maplin.co.uk/p/12v-wire-terminal-type-bt43w Have a look, they could be similar?

    Does it not need a fluid change? http://www.deylan.co.uk/golf/096 Fluid Change/index.htm I've never done it though...
  20. Philly-R6
    Look on t'internet for a document named g3vr6ecupre95.pdf - it should be a 10-page PDF describing the early Mk3 Golf VR6 engine wiring. Page 2 has the (G39) lambda connections: 1 red/white Relay on top of fusebox 2 brown earth 3 yellow ECU T68/42 4 white ECU T68/20

    Try OEM EPC. Find your car. As we are after sensors, select Electrics and scroll down for "senders on engine": http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/GOLF/year/2003/drive_standart/405/hg_ug/919/subcategory/919050/part_id/3708908/lang/e#sec_9 Don't blindly order them - check they are the correct ones with the parts chaps!

    Head/Coolant - you are right, it should not loose that much fluid, so there is a leak somewhere. Could be the head gasket - or a cracked head? Try a compression test? It is also worrying the exhaust "steams" - is coolant weeping into the exhaust port and blown through the exhaust? Battery - Deffo needs replacing. You will need the code for the radio - it may even be written on it!? MFA2 - This is the display for the Multi Function Analyser. There are two counters in the dash for MPG, trip distance, drive time, average speed. MFA2 is cumulative until one of the

    You can use oem epc. Find your car: try Golf/Variant/4Motion, then select the year. You are then presented with the areas in the parts catalogue: Try Body. http://www.oemepc.com/vw/parts_lst/markt/RDW/modell/GOLF/year/2002/hg/8/catalog/vw/drive_standart/266/lang/e Scroll down (keep going!) and find "door trim". Then have a rummage around until you find what you are after! Switches are probably under the Electrics section...

    Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your VR6. The VR6 is the same as any other engine - the air, fuel and spark need to be in the same place at the same time! It should run if it ran before - you did change the HT leads one at a time? Definitely fully charge the battery before anything else. For info, some cars have a plastic tube thing (slid onto the bonnet prop) which removes the HT leads from the spark plugs.

    This is the only [good] photo of a MK3 Golf fuse box. For information, all connections, relays a fuses are listed her: http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html
