One last question, what do you do after the brown wire is out? Can you pull it from where it goes or it just sits there not connected to the harness?

Yes, I know it goes under the battery tray. Wish I knew what this wire with the slider connector was. I will see, maybe the hardware store sells something the same otherwise butt connector.thanks

Mine is just sitting there not connected to anything. If you want to waste the time pulling it out of the loom go right ahead.

Any way you can send me a pic of what I would be getting? I got the plastic shell off the harness, found the wire and there is not a lot of room to work with. Your idea seems more permanent and better. I don't want to screw up something.

I would be sending, The vw 12 gauge wire from the dealership with the spade connector that slides right into the plug, probably like 3 feet of 12 gauge wire crimped and heat shrinked to it, and a ring terminal end that you can crimp/heatshrink on your own when you determine how much of the wire you need to use so you don't have a ton of extra wire in there. Its up to you if you want it, I could put it all together quickly enough.

Let me see if my dealership has one these spade connectors you are talking about, and then I will see if I can put it together or have you send it all I guess.
#42
They don't just sell the connector, it comes with a short length of wire.

Mine does not have the brown ground, it does have a blackish wire with a brownish strip. Is that the one???
#44
Its the thickest one on the harness if that helps, don't wanna cut the wrong one.thanks
#45
wire 1 and wire 6 are the largest and both the same size. I'll take a look and tell you which number to cut

The purple piece pops out easy I hope or does it slide out the side like on the TSB for the 1.8s?
#47

#49

Thats a crap ton of wires, that'll cost you a fortune to buy the whole harness and is not needed. You just need the one wire that goes into one of the slots. the one that goes into #1... all you have to do is push the purple slider out the side, pull on wire #1 and it comes right out... you put the new wire with the spade end on it into the slot, push the slider back, and crimp and heat shrink.

This should help me right?
#54
no... its a vw only plug that goes into the slot... pull the connector off and look inside the holes...

Going to the dealer later today, hope they know what I am talking about? If you can somehow get the part number(s) of what you got I'd appreciate it. Otherwise explaining what I need should work.thanks
#56
Just ask them to pull up the harness that goes to the coilpack and explain that you need one of the wires that goes in... should be good enough

I think this might help....had to search my bookmarks. Scan the car and it should have something like Cylinder 1 Ignition Circuit: Open Circuit, of course all cylinders will be saying that in VAG.http://forums.fourtitude.com/z...12519
000 979 225 & 000 979 230 are wires
111 971 940 A & 357 972 741 B are seal and butt
#58
How about this wire? Now there seems to be 3 diff. ones. The one I got is not 12ga. I am fairly sure.1J0973726 I got.
#59
that looks about right, mine the exact same size as the wiring I changed

Either way, I am gonna go back with the part numbers above and see what they are. I need the rubber seal and butt connectors yet. I was in a hurry at the time. Its weird the codes are there but the cel only comes on and off rarely. Can't wait to get this over with. The wire I got is not 12ga., so there must be another one.
#62
That is correct sir!

According to this I would say its the blackish thick one. HELP!

#65
Chart kind is confusing. If its brown I would say slot 6 next to the green/green wire.
#66
It seems my end wires are opposite this chart I don't know.
#68
Done, runs like a champ. Should be good to go.thanks for all the help
#69
