Now, a bit more on the final install of this.
The intercooler pipework is different to that of the Mk6 so a different fitting for the inlet manifold connection was required;
This bolts to the 2.2 inlet manifold in place of the plastic housing and connects to the intercooler hose using the existing hose clip. Approximately 25mm was cut from the end of the intercooler hose to enable this to be fitted. A hose 'tail' is provided together with the necessary hose to connect to the 'Boost Compensator' on the injection pump.
This adapter housing will be included in the Mk7 kit.
Since we have mounted the Mk7 Alternator at the rear of the engine using the Mk6 mounting points it was necessary to extend the wiring loom to connect the Alternator. Part of the Mk6 loom, (supplied with the engine), was used for this. The Mk7 alternator plug was removed from the vehicle loom and used in conjunction with the Mk6 Alternator loom, this was run up from the rear of the engine as it would be in a Mk6;
We then connected this to the vehicle loom just above the starter;
The Mk7 Alternator has a two wire plug, the Mk6 version has a three wire, so the third wire was left in the loom unconnected at either end.
The Mk7 dip stick tube could not be used in the Mk6 block due to the different diameter of the tube so the Mk6 one was used. The tube was carefully altered so as to clear obstructions and refitted into the block. The mounting bracket was removed from the tube and repositioned so as to support the tube from the injection pump bracket;
In future all pump mounting bracket supplied will be pre-drilled to accept this fitting, a 'P' clip will be supplied to secure the tube with the Mk7 kit.
Next we refitted the vehicle radiator, re-filled the coolant and checked for leaks;
As you can see, access to the injection pump for adjustments is improved when used in a Mk7 compared with a Mk6, the repositioned Airbox is the main reason for this;
Once we had the engine running a while and had carried out a few fueling adjustments to the injection pump we looked at the dash display;
The ABS can be ignored as at this point the engine was running with the gearbox in gear and the front wheels removed. The system 're-set' once the wheels were replaced and the vehicle was driven down the road.
We do however have an Alternator warning lamp displayed but the Alternator is charging
Although at the time of the photo the Crankshaft Position Sensor was not yet plugged in, doing so might even get the rev counter to work
A number of parts in the Mtdi kit have had to be altered to enable fitting to Mk7, where possible the alterations will be incorporated into the standard parts so as to make them 'universal'. As can be seen from this thread so far, a number of additional parts are also required when retro-fitting into a Mk7, tooling will be produced to enable these to be 'batch assembled' and complete kits will be available soon. Details of these will be posted on the thread as they are produced.
Those of you considering this conversion to their FWD Mk7 should contact us via PM or post on this thread.
We would also like to receive applications from repairers wishing to add their name to our 'global network of approved installers', please use the 'contact us' page on our website for this.
More soon,
