wiring loom trouble!!!

[Kurt17]

i have just bought a 106 gti engine to go in my saxo vtr. i have a 3pin ecu on my car at the moment but the 106 gti engine has a single pin ecu!!!
do i just need to swop the engine bay loom for a vts loom with a 3 pin ecu??
cheers kurt..

dont think so

I think you will need to use a single plug VTS loom, as where the engine loom connects to the main car loom, the VTS uses one plug, whereas the gti uses 2 plugs.

You can re-wire them but is a pain, and takes time to do.
I bought a single plug VTS engine loom off a breakers yard in good condition for £30 delivered - is prob best for you to do.

could i use the 106 gti ecu because that is single pin and unlocked??
cheers.

so your car is 3 plug and you have a single plug 106 gti loom and ecu ?

if so then youll need a 3 plug vts loom and 3 plug ecu.

what year is the gti loom that youve got?

[raunchz]

Do 3 plug VTS's and Single plug VTS's have different connections between engine loom, and main car loom then ??

the 106 gti engine is all out of a 1998 car if tht helps....
cheers
