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 battery would be a good start.Originally posted by geralis32 View Post
Knowing what you're doing would be a bonus unless you want to frig something up $$$$.website: www.my-gti.comComment

Battery is in the boot, but there is a major battery "intersection" under the hood - its used for jump starting etc - a quick look in the owners manual will guide you in the right direction!Comment

sorry should of said what im hooking up, trying to install some of the audi led lights, but i dont no what wire to tie it to, coz there is no plug for them just wiresComment

Well don't even attempt to do it then, if you can't find the battery terminals/fuse box under the cover and don't know what to wire it to then I'd step away from the car and close the bonnet before you screw something up bigtime.Originally posted by geralis32 View Post
Get some help from someone who knows what they are doing (and not someone who works on older cars either).
For a start when do you want the Audi led lights to come on? Do you want them on as DRLs? This will require wiring and programming.website: www.my-gti.comComment

Mate, these things aren't plug in and play items...You WILL need a decent Auto Sparky who knows his was around your car to be able to hook these into the correct lighting circuits.Originally posted by geralis32 View Post
If you attempt to do this yourself and you don't have the appropriate knowledge, you can (and will) be faced with a massive bill to repair and replace burned out wires and circuitry.
Trust me, you don't want to let the smoke out of your electrical system in a car like this... "If can't get behind your troops, feel free to stand in front of them..."Comment

Agreed, best to let an Auto sparky do it. There are a couple of terminal intersections in the engine bay where the power to the starter / alternator / lights ets split, but in the case without the full wiring diagram, you may cause damageComment
