WIRING in a Mk3 Golf 1.8 20v TURBO Conversion!

[@jshep73]

Great video again Ron. For anyone watching this not keen on wiring I would recommend getting your loom converted by a pro. Your looms comes back plug and play. Do not scrimp on wiring! This is the reason there are lots of unfinished conversions that ‘just need wiring sorted’

[@SuperRon]

I've had to finish alot of projects that 'just need the wiring' and presented with a birds nest 😂 sometimes it needs very little to get going when you know what to look for, but they get a bit lost/overwhelmed. Thanks for watching 😁

[@HannelieWilliams]

Always nice watching your car works Ron. No 1 in my books. Using my wife phone just to see your updates. Mine on charge.🤫🤫

[@SuperRon]

Spreading the algorithm 👍 I like it 😁

Wish I'd had this 5 years ago when I did my conversion, would've helped massively visualise all the stuff. I had the added complications of going from a 1.8 automatic and nearly all the info on the net was from GTIs so I had to do manual wiring conversion along with it as well to make it more complicated!!

[@SuperRon]

Hours comparing wiring diagrams..., sounds like heaven to me 😂 thanks for watching 😁

The only person i know with this enthusiasm for wiring😂 its not as difficult when u can read the crappy ELSA cfd's but my god its tedious and tskes a lot of patience so fair play. I will stick to swinging hammers around😅

[@SuperRon]

Love it, love it, love it 😂👍

[@madmatttcustoms229]

Another great video. Very insightful and well explained feeling more confident to tear into mine soon. Did you figure out why the gauges stopped working when plugged in? Is it that the mk3 charge loom grounds something the bam engine doesn’t? Keep up the great work looking forward to the next one

[@SuperRon]

We've finally worked the clocks out, it's a weird one! will be in the next episode. Thanks for watching 😁

[@Thatpropertylife]

Amazing video, loving the series. Just a thought about pin 11 from ecu to stereo. Ive heard some headunits have a type of speed input that raises the volume when traveling at speed. Maybe that is it?

[@SuperRon]

Yeah quite possibly, I have come across that on Vauxhall's before. Thanks for watching 😁

[@bagged_caddy]

Hi mate doing the same as you to a 1.9tdi ahu mk3 struggling on wiring diagrams for the mk3 where is best for diagrams Epic video by the way keep it up

[@SuperRon]

I get all my diagrams from a program i have called Elsawin, it's the old VAG main dealer software. you can get copies online for not alot 👍 thanks for watching 😁

[@uncensored5104]

I have never seen a power steering sensor on a MK3 before! I wonder if it were just on the Automatics?

[@SuperRon]

This was a manual, it's been on all TT 1.8t's I've seen, this is the first time I've used it though.

[@uncensored5104]

@@SuperRon Yeah, sorry, I see the sensor and thought it was on the old engine, duh.

[@arthurdejager1775]

Thanks for the content as always you make it seem so easy. i just would like to know what would your advise be when doing this swap on a budget, is the 1.8T ECU plugs all the same in the sense where the harness and engine come from different vehicles? Awesome vid and enjoy the holiday season!

[@SuperRon]

Yes mostly the powers in and out are all the same. I have noticed the odd one that the pins are in a slightly different place before depending on what it came out of, so always worth checking the wiring diagrams. Thanks for watching. 😁

[@leewain5999]

am slowly doing a pd150 conversion got a 1.9 arl engine loom complete do you know of a guide or know what wires to connect to my mk3 1.4 been looking at the Volkswagen looms got the app for it but blows my mind 😂 lot more detailed to the old lucas looms great videos as always 👍👍

[@SuperRon]

I'm not too familiar with the diesels so cant help, sorry 👍

[@elardusboucher]

love the wiring episodes, can i copy and paste your brain please🤣 would love to get mine eventually sorted

[@SuperRon]

You don't want to get trapped in my brain, it's a deep rabbit hole 😂 thanks for watching 😁

[@elardusboucher]

@SuperRon if possible, jou seem to have allot of knowlidge on the 1.8 20v engines. can i have your input on something ?

[@SuperRon]

@elardusboucher I can try 👍

[@elardusboucher]

i have a Golf mk4 Gti auq engine on the display your kms per liter when you start the car is 99.9 liters to 100 km, as i drive it goes down to 13....liters per 100kms. so the fuel consumption is high it should be under 10 if you drive like an old woman like i do, what might be the problem ? it gave an error code on obdelen as labda sensors i changes all of them bit i still have the same issue. and i mantain the car meticulously. is it a faulty sensor somewhere

[@SuperRon]

@elardusboucher sounds like you're on the right track, a faulty lambda would cause high fuel consumption. Did you replace with good branded sensor, bosch etc, cheap ones can sometimes cause more problems than they fix.

[@joelb2660]

Nice work. Looks like you are a solder guy rather than a crimp guy. (Waits for the arguments😂) Could the change of thickness of the wires be down to their length maybe? 🤔 I could be wrong.

[@SuperRon]

I do solder most of the smaller wires, but all the larger power wires I crimp, depends what it is really. Thanks for watching 😁

[@jonbhoys1888]

Hi I'm very interested in having this done to my 1997 seat ibiza gti cupra. Is this something you would take on? What sort of costs would it be labour wise kindest regards john

[@SuperRon]

I'm sure it would be pretty similar to this, definitely something I'm interested in. Lots of variables starting with what gearbox you have to start with so hard to quote a price. But get in touch at Autoshack if interested. 😁

[@allanmaidment4815]

I’ve done this conversion and I don’t have oil temp working on the original dash on my mk2 Ibiza would that be coz I haven’t used the original sensors from my 8v engine?

[@SuperRon]

Yes the 1.8t doesn't have a temp sensor, you need it from your origional engine

[@allanmaidment4815]

[@timboslice3294]

Vw mk3s came stock with 1.8t’s

I don't think they did until the mk4s, thanks for watching 😁

Hi super Ron :) would you sell me the wiring diagram u have used here 😂 colours etc to join in 🤝😂

[@SuperRon]

All the wiring diagrams come from a program called Elsawin, give it a google

wirering gives me a headache hahaha
