vr clubsport wagon
iv just recently bough a vr clubby wagon and taken the original engine out and put a 355 in it with a t56. used the manual engine loom and ecu that has come with the engine and got it all in and plugged up....there as only one plug diference and its the black plug that plus in near ur fuse box. bought a connection kit and wired it up to how it was but on the manual harness it has 6 wires and on the auto it only has five being the left over wire is a pink one which I believe may be for the oil pressure switch???? anyway that's the only wire off and ive gone to start but ont turn over... relays click has power to everything on the car but wont do anything?? any ideas on where to start without forking out a fortune on an auto sparky :( cheers

If it won't turn over forget your conversion wiring. Check the voltage at the startermotor, is it tight? is it connected?... the wiring to make it crank is very simple. Check to make sure the ignition barrel is working properly. Not sure if they have a starter relay... Don't forget that the relay click when you turn to start position may in fact be an accessories relay turning off. When you move to the start position, the ignition barrel turns off the accessories circuit for that moment.
