b3 passat wagon 16v to MTDI swap *Glow plug wiring time*

[bbob203]

I have an aaz cluster so i already have a light just don't know how to make it "glow"..

your push button will power it.. or i think tapping in a lead with glow plugs so if button fails or your under hood relay fails or fuse, the light will not work..

just figure out what pin into or out of fuse box goes to it...

I am not familiar with the AAZ cluster but I imagine it is basically the same as the vanagon cluster.  I just followed the two traces that came off the LED socket I wanted to use.  One joined one side of the other LEDs, the other went to one of the cluster connector pins.  The connector plug was missing that pin, so I added it from the box of spare wiring bits and wired it to the L connection on the relay.  I did need to flip the LED around because I got the polarity wrong.

Got some Meyle hd strut mounts in today and some vr6 front springs and bilstein hd front struts! Time for some decent suspension already.

his aaz is same as eurovan... but has gp led in it...

look at how those bearings are plastic vs normal ones... the ones your taking off both sides are steel.. the upper part i think is plastic on the vr6 hd style upper mounts... yea they wear... makes things bind up...

what bout the tt lower arm bushings?? you want them too..

[bbob203]

yea tt bushing in months ago. I noticed these are plastic. I had some vr style mounts off a car from the junker and the used bearings are all metal. So the old style must be metal new replacements not unfortunatelty.

well what i guess im trying to say is stock non hd replacement better for long life... and no the stock vr6 ones ive delt with are plastic.. the balls wear into the plastic and jam up...  ialso think the stock non hd will sit higher.. much more rubber to body contact... raising the car up a few mm.. which is what one of your goals is
