If I remember correctly there are 2 sensors. One on the coolant flange on the front on the head, should be going to your gauge. Another on the coolant flange on the side of the head, should be going to fan relay? Or maybe vice-vera.

You know the key in the timing sprocket is weak right?

Yes, I am aware of that. I have another D style slotted crank sprocket here for when I get a chance to swap it out.

I used an AAZ with 02a with my B3 wagon too.. I didn't really take any pictures during the build process.. was kind of in a rush to get it done. I advanced the timing to the point the pump cannot move any further toward the engine and its starting better, still need to get those plugs changed out th...

Sounds like two issues: retarded timing and overfueling. Low compression can also cause hard cold starts. I'm hoping you post a build thread on your swap, I'm eager to see your efforts before I try one. :mrgreen: There is no black smoke under full petal acceleration. I'm going to try and advance th...

Okay, so I swapped a 1.9TD into a 92 Passat wagon. It's runs great and I daily drive it to work and home. ATM: 1. I haven't wired a momentary switch to the glowplugs.. which I'll be doing soon, for now I hotwire from the battery. They were drawing no power so obviously they were all burnt out. I rep...

My timing belt has been doing that for 20k kms or more. Doesn't seem to be causing wear or anything..

It's from the belt rubbing on the tensioner I think. Some said it could the the injection pump mounting bolts being out. Mine also goes away when hot.

There is a red/black wire going to the glovebox light that is switched power for stereo. Works great.

Haha.. wow, I'm kind of surprised this is a common enough problem to have to more then one of us on the forum.

Thanks for the useful information, going to get a new switch today on my way to work.

Thanks. I'm going to try a new switch first. I fixed one switch and it works.. "sort of"... Which the headlight switch on, there is 'no' power to anything. But if turn the switch to the off position everything works.. head lights, blower, and wipers. But they continue to work even with the...

After messing with the switch a bit.. they came on for awhile. But when the car was off and key out the wipers, blower, and all the lights were on. Then I pushed it a few times.. (the switch) and I'm right back at square one. Nothing. I'm guess the switch or a relay has failed.

Okay, so the screw was not in all the way. It managed to get inbetween the brown plug and the switch. So, it touched the lowest right prong when looking at them. There is no wire there.. but I guess it was shorting out the switch. So, I pulled the harness and all the wires look intact. Only thing I ...

Thanks. Really appreciate your help! I'll let you know what I find.

OMG! I think you're right.. that screw wasn't going in too good... might not be seated all the way!! Your the man, if that was the case.. why am I not getting any lights now? Cause it doesn't get hot or smoke unless the switch is pushed right in.. meaning yes! It must be shorting there. Any idea how...

Okay, so I was using a diesel cluster in my swap for awhile now. Atleast 3000kms with no problems, except that the fuel gauge didn't work. So I tried swapping the fuel gauge from my gasser cluster into it, and it still didn't work. Turns out the PO of that cluster hack jobbed it all together with le...

I'm pretty sure you tee the boost controller into the waste gate line.. that way, it needs more pressure to open the controller, then the waste gate. If you did have a BOV, you'd want to plug that too, or else I think it opens at 12psi or something. That is, if bbob has one on his intake. I have a h...
