Slight update... there isnt much.

Put a new rear main seal in and vr6 pressure plate and friction disc in. Swapped the serp belt setup to a vbelt so i didn't have to change my ac stuff. Its all ready to set in the car now and start hooking stuff up to it.

In other news i traded putting in a radiator in a mk4 for a dirt bike, been playing with that here and there. And i traded my mk2 16vt for a lifted jeep cherokee prerunner. Maybe not the best trade, but i think it will sell for more than the the gti will. And its fun to play with too. Got all of my stuff in to finish up my vr6 rabbit and my TD coupe is now getting taped up to paint. Its been at the body shop for like 6 months now... long story.

the swap is al done now. down to wiring bugs. when I turn the key on none of the instrument cluster lights come on. the ecu doesnt recieve power. if I jumper the ecu relay I can read it with vag com. any ideas on where my power bug may be?

I found it thanks to your other post on tdiclub. here is the jumper info for anyone who needs it. i hate when people start a thread and never finish it with posting the answer to their problem

im all done except for putting the dash back in, putting the seats back in and putting the fuel sender in. mine was all rusted and gummed up so i need to find a new one if anyone has a b3 or b4 wagon fuel level sender laying around.

dash is back in and interior is almost done. coilovers are on as well are new wheels that i don't think i like. I've got a weird problem now where when i turn on the headlights the instrument cluster powers up as well does the ecu. guess its time to troubleshoot that next. but i'm going to drive it first even if it is just down the road.
