Knowing which fusebox you have would be a good starting point? Do you have ce1 or ce2? What year is your car, does it have the hazard warning switch on the dash or on the steering column?

 

its a ce1 fuse box 16v gti 1989 hazard on the dash

 

Are the diesel clocks not different slightly to the petrol ones. Maybe this is your problem. Where are you based.

 

Can you not put the coolant jackets from your 1.3 engine onto your td engine and plug your connectors into them?
Oil light wire most likely needs be plugged into sensor on side of head.
As far as i remember, if you have wires that you can't identify, if you earth them they will identify purpose on dash as in illuminate lights or raise needles etc.

 

i am in offaly why you ask?you mean 1.8 im not sure im total clueless with this wiring craic i was looking at it again today and now ive even managed to put the ignition switch wrong think i need change the loom and fuse box means i could use the diesel clocks,so annoying as cars ready apart from this..

 

well if you were near me i would come over to give you a hand, but your not so....

Quickest route would be swap the looms i would imagine. They should plug and play reasonably easily as long as their both CE1 looms. Clocks will need to change too as the petrol ones probably wont have the glow plug warning lamp.

 

Looms are plug and play as long as you get right ine (ce1)
Ul need clocks for glowplug light

 

Just change the complete loom for the ce2 diesel.
I really dont see what the problem is, vw wiring is probably the most idiot proof of any make.
Everything just plugs into the fuse box.

Not when i havnt the loom to change im going to get a ce1 desiel loom and clocks and change them .or if you want to do it id gladly sort you out for it.

 

you dont seem to be getting anywhere with your 5 or 6 threads looking for pretty much the same thing, i'd say your best bet is to find an auto electrician closer to home, its not the kind of thing someone can just come to your gaff and do, it takes planning space time, testing inspection of the loom(s) etc etc, good luck with your search
