Yea actually if you go mk3 to mk2 you use all the wiring and with a few pins swapped in the harness you can plug everything in, no wire chopping or anything.

Lol my harness is really hacked up tho, most of the non engine related stuff was cut when removed from the vehicle... As in people wanted the headlights, blinkers etc. and just cut the harness off instead of removing the connectors

Yea that does kinda suck. I would probably look for a fresh harness somewhere and go from there. I have done a few tdi swaps myself so let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions

i think ive done a pretty good job piecing the mk3/mk2 harnesses together.

basically what i did was remove everything from the mk3 harness that doesnt pertain to the engine.
then i'll use the mk2 harness for everything else (lights, a/c, fans, blinkers, hazards)

i repaired some of the cut off connectors at the engine with some connectors from the mk2's old gas engine harness.

repaired and re-spliced all the brake/clutch switches with a combo of mk2/3 stuff

the A/C wiring was pretty tricky, im using mk2 lines with an adapter at the compressor... im not sure if i got the a/c wiring right but wont know until i get both the engine running, and the system recharged.

should be dropping the harness into the car this weekend, if all goes well it will fire up and if my repairs are all correct and everything works i shouldnt need another harness. It would have just saved me about 2 weeks of wire shooting, repair, and countless hours on the multimeter/staring at schematics until my eyes were crossed.
