had some “new” problems with the site today, was unavailable for a few hours. due to the database being unavailable, didnt copy the error message tho

[Housey]

both the fans are now installed, and working perfectly. not much noise, but moves a ****-load of air which is a good thing

anyhow, some pics

heres the first fan mounted, its mounted with zip-ties trough the radiator, works great

both fans installed

on low heat step, only one fan is blowing (left one)

and on step two, both fans are blowing

[Housey]

think i’ve sorted out the fan thingy now the company that sold me the fan told me that it was a sucking fan only, but, all i needed to do was to reverse the wiring thus making it a blowing fan.

so, buying another one on friday, so that i’ve got two of them in front of the radiator.

started to make the wiring harness for the fans today, using the original radiator-switch. will make and post a wiring-scheme on this in a while. i’m wiring it so that it runs one fan when the temp gets to the first triggerpoint, and both on the second triggerpoint

i’m using a little diode inorder to make this work as it should, info in this will come

yeah, you who sent them to me?

[Housey]

still sucks that we have to go trough this in order to get the license plates on the car

anyhow, does anyone know the pin-outs for the radiator switch? the 3-pin one. need it in order to make my fan work as it should

i was supposed to go with two fans, but i’ve only got room for one, since the one i have suck the air, not blowing it. if it was a way to “reverse” it, that would be great, because then i could
mount them in the front, and not the rear of the radiator

still waiting for my radiator neck tho. still hasn’t showed up

[Housey]

well, been a few slow days now, hopefully getting my act together next week, trying to get the car ready for its bi-annual EU-test

[Housey]

i didn’t buy one visited my dad and borrowed his for a second

[Housey]

okay, so, here’s a little guide, this have to be done, if you do like me. i had to lengthen the wires for the windscreen wipers. and had a plug lying around with about 15cm of wires on it from a golf. and i didn’t notice that two of the wires are flipped on the passat harness. so i just soldered according to color, this made it short out on intermittent and half-speed..

oh well.

on pic one, you can see the golf plug, which is wrong. second pic is from the passat, and how it should be when using this mix of wiring harnesses

Golf:

Passat:

Notice the Green and Green/black wires. these have to change their location. this is an easy fix, i used some welding wire, and pressed down into the plug, and pulled out the wire with the connecor on it. and just put it back

hopefully this might be of some help to others who may encounter this problem when convertion their syncro/non-syncro golf from 1.8 Digifant II to 1.8 Digifant I

oh, and started on fitting my fog-lamps today, i’m not using the stock ones, since the light output on them sucks. so i’m using my old trusty Hella Micro DE lenses

[Housey]

yeah, and an easy fix aswell a real one minute job

[Housey]

hahah.. this was actually an easy fix once i figured it out

so, a picture guide will come

[Housey]

changed the wiring loom for the steering column today. so now everything is passat from there to the wiper motor, still shorted out

didn’t have time to do much other than that, so going to try out the multimeter tomorrow

[Housey]

wierd if it is different from what it has been, since all i’ve done is lengthening the wires and that was just the wires in the raintray area. and they are matched colorwise..

i need to get myself a printer soon haha hard work to draw all of this down on a paper

[Housey]

how can the cables be connected the wrong way?

[Housey]

I’m starting to think that the polarity of the Passat wiper motor is different from the Golf one?

All I’ve done is lengthen the wires, soldering and using heatshrink tubes, and I’ve used a section of a golf plug with aprox 15cm of wires on it.
could be that its somewhat different on the Passat?

Anyone got the wiring schemes on the wiper loom on both the Passat and on the Golf? so I can do some comparing

[Housey]

well, just bought a new neck and a new o-ring for it now

came out at about 15€ so not too exspensive so, hopefully its the right one
