Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Digi2 o2 sensor woes

    So I am not the best yet with reading wiring diagrams, but the situation I have is...

    The MK1 has a MK2 digifant 2 loom in it with all of the connections to the devices being spliced on at the time the engine went in.

    I was going to install a wideband o2 gauge yesterday and simply could not get the right feeds (earth, 12v+, signal) from the wiring harness that led to the existing o2 sensor. More and more invetigation leads to me being a bit bewildered, so I decided best to trace back to the splice and start again.

    What I found were these...

    Brown/Black wire, Red/White wire and what looks to be a black thicker cable.



    So headed to the trusty Bentley and found the diagram.



    It says I should have a Brown/Black wire, Red/White wire and a Green signal wire.



    In this diagram it states there is a wire that intersects from the block to the Green signal wire, but I am really confused about this. From the diagram, is it simply spliced to it? Is there something going on that I am missing?

    Any advice appreciated.

    Ok, so the deal is the signal wire is shielded and the earth is connected to the sheath. Learn something every day right!
