Pedal...

A bit of a slow couple of weeks as far as preparing for the AFN conversion goes, but Ive done a little more trimming back of the loom, and tied some more wires up.
I discovered that the wiring diagram I had was actually wrong and a few wires didnt match the wiring to the ECU.

Sourced a usable pedal from a LHD Sharan on German Ebay, pics below with comparison to RHD pedal.
This should allow me to use the complete pedal, keep it inside the T3 and still have it in a nice position under the foot.

Top pic shows the approx position, the other 2 show the LHD pedal compared the the RHD.
The RHD would need mounting too far over to the left so wouldnt be on the flat area, although I'm sure the pedal arm could be modified

Loom Stripped...

It looks daunting, all that wiring laid out on the floor...

In reality its not that bad.
There are a lot of wires granted, but most of them arent needed. All the wiring for the lights, ABS, AirCon, Radiator Fans... etc. All gone.

What i'm left with is this:

The bags are the connectors to various points on the engine. The big connector in the middle of the bags in the lower left of the image is the main ECU connection. The stuff in between is wire.

There are something like 18 wires now that dont connect to anything. Some from the ECU, others from various plugs. Basically, theres some power wires, some earths, Glow plug wiring and a few others I've yet to figure out.
Some of them are for the cruise control and speed sensor, which I'll be using.
And also the all important OBD port connections.

My aim is to have the loom pretty much "plug and play" by the time i'm ready to put the engine in.

Oh and heres a pic of the 7kg of wiring and connectors that wasnt needed...

Engine and loom removed.

Well... I wasnt looking forward to this bit, but 7 hours later the engine and box are on the floor and the complete front end loom is out of the car...

RIP Sharon.

Sharons time has come.

The Sharan has come apart surprisingly easily. About an hour in and all the front end is off. and most of the wiring is disconnected.

Engine out tomorrow and then start on the loom...
