zorgman Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 hi all (99 1.9 tdi)just done my cyl head for second time and after all back together had no instrument panel, the rev,mph dead, fuel and water half gauge. so checking diagrams ive found that vw in thier wisdom have got the earth wire into that multi connector on rh side of block going in to that then earth.simple fix on it tho.locate the brown wire and splice onto it taking a new wire to the bolt that has the earth wires on it at front of mount, and thats it simple but a little fiddly due to lack of room, still got no speedo but its the same fault wire has broken/corroded in the big connector, just jump wires accross or cut them out and make off new ones.hope this helps someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrben Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hi Zorg. Why did you have to do cylinder head twice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trislander Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 My speedo currently doesn't work and fuel gauge up and down so will look into this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrben Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Ah ok, thanks for reply zorg. That block connector you mentioned above, is it on the r/h/s of the engine as you look at it? I have no speedo, and i rekon its the wire fault that you mentioned, but cant seem to see the block of wires. I take it, all of the wires going to this block need to be earthed? Thanks.
