sprx3 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hey guys i just finished putting the car back together from doing the timing chain retainers, clutch & a few other things & now i have no dash lights, MFA, & guages, the car also doesnt seem to be running right it has a miss (which could be the leads) as it has happened before (need to look at the coil packs as well, but dont want to be running it to long just in case its over heating.... has anyone had this problem before or got a wiring diagram so i can try & track the problem........any help would be great as VW in australia are a bunch of idiots & have NO IDEA when it comes to VR6's for example it took them 5 weeks to get all my parts in ......hope someone can helpCheers Link to post Share on other sites

sprx3 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 which earth wire was it? the only one i can think of is the thick one coming from the battery>>>>? Link to post Share on other sites
poultonjoe 0 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 They are near the throttle cable. Do they light up fine until you fire it then go out? If so they are near the rocker cover by the throttle cable. Just lock them down onto a spare thread somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
Petesvw 0 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Joe is right, fasten it to the inlet manifold.Not sure about the miss tho? Could be a break down in A HT cable! Link to post Share on other sites
