I may have missed a trick here and am buggered now as the mk4 loom from the engine went into a black round plug by the battery (that i could not get apart) and then merged into loads more wiring from the headlamps etc and then through the bulkhead near the steering colum so i ended up chopping the loom as it was the only thing stopping me lifting out the lump? :?


might have been the mk 3 then that had the same plug, i know ive used the diesel loom on conversions
