well the oil pressure switch (replace) fixed the alarm. Now I need focus on the fan motor. The motor good, the temp switch good, harness butchered ( see pictures). I will try to ring out and repair may be fuse issues as well.

Briano If you were looking for a 1.8l in your area what would be some of the places you would check?

I figure with a different power plant (1.8l) I might be able to find more opportunities with the newer engine style, just nervous about wiring and engine mount location. I am not interested making more power just driving for a few years.

Phil Was the 1.8l used in most of the body styles (golf,sirroco, gti,rabbit, jetta) and to what year can they be found (80's, 90's ???). Thank you again

I am in cumming and work out of Norcross (peachtree Ind and Metlock bridge). The pull a parts are great but Rabbits are rare and the Lithonia is a haul but a great place to pull parts. I work for Genuine Parts (support Napa pos systems). We don't have much on the cars, but some sites on the web carr...

the work I did on the oil pressure and oil temp was based on the wire color, The large sender on the top center of the oli filter housing was to the oil pressure and only had one wire, I replaced it with the same type sender (VDO) brand and the oil pressure guage works (this is an after market VDO o...

I wasn't asking to replace I was asking how to test I assume it is a switch to ground I was asking
If working properly dose it close with pressure or without pressure. I want to test it to see if its functioning properly

How would I test the low pressure switch is it a ground when low or under pressure

these are the other sensors, not sure what they do?

Ok here are my photos

Thank you for your reply. About the auditable alarm. I have replaced the original gauges on the console. I put a regular temp gauge where the oil tem guage used to be. My dash water temp and oil temp both work. I have a replacement oil pressure and sender, it too works with a pressure just over 20 l...

Ok I have been through a lot. worked most of my wiring problems, got the engine timed but not gone through the dwell tune up proceedures. I ran into a water pump leak and have replaced the water pump, remover the square AC compressor cut up the AC mount so I could reattach the alternnator in it's or...

Thank you a great diagram for vac routing. I am not sure if I want to leave the AC. I have a few more pictures see notes on the pictures. I found where the aux air and cold start were cut from the harness, buried under the heater hoses, should be a fun place to try and splice. I saw something about ...

Ok the cold start grounds and test ports have been fixed. the electrical connection for the cold start and the aux air reg are no where to be found. I have a piece of harness with both connectors but can find a spot where they were removed on my car, any suggestions where to look.

the part I thought was egr turned out to be aux air reg. and the parts I am missing are idle boost valve. The wiring I remove from the 82 had connectors for aux air reg and the cold start, the wiring originated over by the master cly. Would that be where the thermal time switch is. Your picture do a...
