No it really was after reading some very detailed instructions on
www.gti-vr6.net. Would have been a problem if I didn't know where the nuts
holding the heater box to the firewall. Didn't have to discharge the ac as
bentley suggests just took my time and felt around for the backside clips
and removed them with a flat screwdriver. Basically it only took about 2
1/2 hours to remove everything and about 1 hour to put the core back in and
redo the crossbeam.The only problem I had was removing the two shear bolts
holding on the crossbeam - which was the most time consuming out of the
entire project as I had to run to Home Depot for a cobalt bit to drill them
out. Removing the ton of bolts and screws was a little time consuming (but
an electric screwdriver helped) and I expected a hard time removing the
heaterbox clips but they all came off and were a snap to put back on without
any broken plastic. The flush was performed the weekend before and since I
had bypassed my core there was no need to reflush.
What I could use is a little help with the fusebox connectors (yellow,
black, blue, green and white) that sit on the fusebox. When I pulled the
crossbeam I decided to tidy up the wiring rat's nest and I pulled out the
connectors to untangle the harness. Thinking everything was color
coordinated I plugged them back in.
What I'd appreciate if any 95 GTI owners would have is what wires plug to
where - plugged all my grey/blues and blue whites together (both three) and
plugged the black/yellow (2) but have problems with my greens, blacks and
whites - need to verify the number and connectors. Also in the mix is a odd
black/blue and black wire with a green plug small plug that goes into which
block the green or the black? The wire is solid black.
Seriously I checked the circuit to the radio and cig lighter a few times
with a multimeter and I get continuity but no 12V in the red/white wires.
Unless my connections are really off or I fried the alarm module or computer
which gets and puts out 12V on the red/whites something is really messed up
on the fusebox or I'm missing something somewhere.
I'd really appreciate some help on this one - any insight would be helpful.
