Yellow black in Volkswagen is the x circuit, power generally will cut during crank. Tied into headlights, etc. Thanks for the videos!! Going to be doing my wiring this fall.
This video is much more easy to follow. I followed the other one when i was harvesting the BEW out of my Golf. Im hoping to get to assembling that project this winter.😎
Planning to put one in an early 90s dakota 4x4. I need a fuel efficient all weather vehicle because I do deliveries. I am obsessed with dakotas, and finding out I can do this so easily...I was instantly sold.
@TDISwaps yeah I figured that out just within the last few hours. Changed the plan to finding an ax15 dakota. Swapping in a jeep ax15 for the different bellhousing and input. Then I can swap the tdi in
Awesome video! No telling how much help you just gave the swap community! *PLEASE* do a CJAA wiring video! I've started getting parts for my Gen 2.5 Monterl swap!
Nice! One thing that helped me was figuring out how to de-pin the master ECU connector (seems it can be different even in the same EDC family) moving an unused signal like air conditioning over to where the clutch pin is (granted you have a tune to switch from auto to manual EDC 16 in the case of BHW to utilize the clutch for cruise control).
@@TDISwaps Yeah probably an extracurricular for most just starting out. If you do head down that road be careful, the de-pinning how-to is scarce and the videos that do show how always have a few comments asking where to buy new crimped wire due to them getting destroyed with lack of patience lol.
I have a BRM and on my wiring diagram I am seeing a data link interface is that something that is there or do I just need the data link wires thank you sir you’ve been a lot of help
So I’m trying to rewire my engine bay I’m building a new dash in my Jetta to be a center seating position with a wrap around dash kinda. I’ll have plenty of room in the new dash and, floor cubbies on the sides to relocate everything.
@@TDISwaps yeah, I might be needing some help possibly with some questions here and there. New to the whole wiring thing but good at all the custom stuff, the exhaust tunnel is no longer needed because of hood exit. So I’m cutting the floors and tying the front subframe to the rear trailing arms and strut towers. Then building storage bins in the floor all the way up to the driver seat.
Hi friend, I'm a fan of your videos, I made a 1.9 TDI project in a Jeep Liberty, I tried to make my harness but I'm missing some components, could you help me with the diagram? thank you.
I get all my connectors from Ali Express. And my tuning all comes from TekMekTronics. I will be getting setup to offer swap delete tuning in the next few months.
Just taking the plunge into this project, thank you for your video. Maybe a dumb question but after you’re deleting things you don’t want in the harness does someone have to reprogram the ecu? Can this be done on VCDS?
The ECU will need the security immobilizer disabled before this type of harness will work, while that's being done a performance tune with delete is easy to add on, that's all usually done mailing it to a tuner.
Thank you very much for the reply, I’ll continue to watch your wiring videos. My swap is for a boat so I’m looking to eliminate as much as possible and then re wire using the connectors
Well I am usually making these looms using the TDIs wiring like the original BKDs loom. And I'm also always making them standalone like to run without hooking to a factory ve cluster, just universal gauges
@leonwilliams2412 ya that would just take seeing what that cluster wants for inputs, but the vw coolant sensor is a weird resistance that can be hard to match, as well as it not even looking at oil pressure so a lot of it is best using your own sensors anyways
I'm looking to swap a tdi into my old Datsun pickup. I've been leaning toward an ALH but the bike insee the more the BEW seems like a great option as well. If you had your pick, what would take?
It's a tough call, bew is stronger but has more maintenance, ALH is more dependable, but weaker bottom end, I definitely don't like that fuel leaks on the PDs go right into the oil without you knowing. I usually just base it off price and availability at the end of the day
@@TDISwaps thanks for the info. Yeah I see way more BEWs and BHWs for sale than ALH but I've seen those ALH with 500,000 miles. I'll probably end up with a BEW based on availability. You've made me confident the wiring isn't that hard. Just salvage as much of the harvest as I can.
@@thisislargemouth5566alh head on a bhw bottom end. Have the best of both worlds. Not too much extra to do for it to work and lots of write ups on this hybrid
Will this same setup work for edc15? Looking to swap an awx engine code into a pajero 2, and being in europe doesnt make this easier since there are so many different engine codes than back in the states...
@Speedy2222 yeah all you need is the ECU to run the engine once the immobilizer is disabled but it has to be bench flashed to disable it so you'd have to mail the ECU into somewhere like me or a tuner.
Hi, I went to Facebook and I see there's 2 different TDI swap groups. Can you steer me in the direction of where to find those four pages of schematics. Thanks for the video great job! Ross
@@TDISwaps Thank you for your very kind offer. My wife just told me that she has a Facebook account that she hasn't used in a couple years, so I had her apply to join the group. Now we're waiting for the mods to approve her.
Well everything has a price, I do have quite a bit of sentimental price on these though. Probably nothing less than 10k. You can find me on Facebook if you are interested though. facebook.com/profile.php?id=100014261163897&mibextid=ZbWKwL

@@TDISwaps Thinking of sticking with the A518/46rh 4 speed auto. Not sure about the torque converter but I can get a diesel valve body kit for it.
@timbrwolf1121 unfortunately they do not make a TDI adapter for that

@TDISwaps if I'm really lucky I'll find a 2.5 manual 4x4 but those are rare. They were usually rwd if they had the 2.5
Awesome video! No telling how much help you just gave the swap community! *PLEASE* do a CJAA wiring video! I've started getting parts for my Gen 2.5 Monterl swap!
I don't really have an urge to do the whole swap, but if someone sends me a harness to make for them I'll make the video!
@@TDISwaps any way I can get ahold of you, I’m going to do a swap. I’d definitely appreciate some advice and knowledge on a few different aspects.

Yes cruise control would probably require some pins moving but it's nice to have it running at least!

Lol I believe it! This is definitely the "how to keep it simple" video 😂
Dude, my old lady would freak out if I had an ECU and wiring on our bed! Hahaha
Haha I'm actually at a hotel room there by myself because yeah that would never fly at home 😂😂😂
Awesome video buddy,appreciate this a lot!
Glad to help!
Thanks for this. Where would one find the schematics? Looking for 2006 Jetta BRM in particular. Looking to put one in a Ranger.
The only place I know to get them is on the TDI swapped trucks Facebook group

I have a BRM and on my wiring diagram I am seeing a data link interface is that something that is there or do I just need the data link wires thank you sir you’ve been a lot of help
You do not need can bus wiring for basic setup but you do need the k line for OBD communication that should be pin 72 on the big plug
@@TDISwaps I greatly appreciate your help my friend

You have the schematics printed out then?
Yes I had them, but I lost them and now I have nothing.
@Estebandealba3335 I don't have any way to link them on TH-cam
Any idea where to get connectors?
Who can tune the computer for this swap as well?
I get all my connectors from Ali Express. And my tuning all comes from TekMekTronics. I will be getting setup to offer swap delete tuning in the next few months.
@@TDISwaps how about the main round connector to the injectors in a bew motor? That seems impossible to find
@jamesharless6003 those are hard to find new, but they are usually available used, the part number is 038973121B.

You will have to use a compilation of both my videos on edc15 and edc16 unfortunately, pins may be different too
what tuner did you use so you wont need to use the immobilizer?
I bought the software to do it myself
@@TDISwaps Do you need the gauge cluster to eliminate it or can you just plug into the obd2 port once wired to the ecu and powered on?

Can this work on a 1.8t?
With the right schematics yes you can wire a 1.8 harness the same way
Do you know were to find a wiring diagram to a vw 1.9 tdi avf
