everything related to engine exhaust wiring that you may need - can always bin it later but once its gone the little bits missing soon add up!

TBH having done it myself (never again..) I know what a total arse of a job is removing the Sharan dash/engine-bay harness, and stripping out the TDI bits. It's the worst TDI donor as far the electrics go by a big margin, IMO. A saner option is to use electrics from a different car (eg. Golf) the only difference is the pump has one 10-pin plug instead of an 8 and a 3, but its easy just to swap the pins into a 10-pin housing.

You need the entire front harness really, engine-bay and dash side are all one massive piece. The dashboard has to come out, there's several M6 fasteners you have to remove from the scuttle side to get it out. Don't ask me to convert it for you though, just takes too long and its tough on the hands stripping it all apart.
PS. Re. engine, I don't know, as the one that's been though my hands was removed from the car for me. I just took the electrics off The other ones I've converted folk have sent to me. Edited by syncroandy - 11 Nov 16 at 16:54 |

So I can use the loom from a golf instead ? Mk3 yes? Andy do you convert looms ? You mentioned not to ask you to do the sharan loom, is there much involved in adapting the loom to work? I know it was only a
Mater of three relays when I put the G60 engine in my m.k 1, mind you thats only the old Digipants ecu, |

What a pain .I loosened all the bolts in the scuttle panel for the dash and couldnt budge the dash ,so I just cut it in half with a grinder .I have the ecu out .the loom from ecu to engine bay obviously I need that ,It splices and goes towards the fuse box How much of that loom do I need ? I can trace the wires I reckon from where it splices towards the fuse box . Do I just cut out that lot of wires ? Also The connector that goes to the clock ,again do I just identify those wires and keep that lot of wires? Also the plug in for the OBD I can trace those wires and cut them out?ANY advise appreciated .Thanks

So I took the loom from the car ,what a job .Anyhoo I have all the connectors that go to the engine labelled, do I just keep all the wiring that goes to and from the ecu and bin the rest? I presume I need some of the connecters that go to the fuse box and to some of the relays , but which ones / I've tried posting pics but something is to big I have to reduce pic size or something .i'll have to wait til junior comes in from college.

You need to host picks on photobox etc, and link to them, instructions are in the bus park.
You only need a few wires, you can cut out all the excess. |

Thanks mate, I'll sort it later , I've been going through old threads /Project builds etc but there's nothing showing which wires I need or how I hook them up to the cabby fuse box, I have yo get the ecu decoded as I want to keep cabby clocks and do away with the fbw throttle, I can change that by swapping the throttle body can't I?

A lads been onto me there to say he could splice the ahu loom into the ce1 loom .I have a spare CE1 harness so I'm giving him both harnesses and he'll wire it up for me .as I dont want to be messing around with the running engine at the moment .basically I'm gathering all the bits for the conversion then when I have everything, fitting it to the car. IS 200 euros for sorting the wiring pricey?
