The problem is that the ignition coil connector (wiring harness side) has cracks in the soft rubberized connector part (that keeps out moisture) - this needs to be replaced and I cannot locate the part number in my reference material.


Anyone have the part number for the replacement connectors or have an alternative option for replacement?
Thanks again everyone!

Is there a lift kit that's less than 3 inches, or is it basically either 0 or 3?

Oil Residue on Engine

Since ive bought my 00' its had oil residue on the engine block. Its enough in that its keeping me from seeing if i have any leaks. Ive tried using a degreaser and high pressure hose but it only removed what residue there was on suspension and oil pan so the residue around the heads/ valve covers still exists. Now, when i drive the truck short distances and the engine reaches temperature heating up the residue i can smell it in the cabin.

At this point im eager to thin or dislodge some of the residue so that i can inspect the engine valve cover/heads for leaks. Especially since i'd like to use the the truck for road/long trips and i want to make sure the trucks able to make it. My questions are:
  • Do i just let the residue heat/burn off the engine block on its own?
  • Are there any safety issues with letting it heat/ burn off on its own?
  • Is there another way to remove the residue?
  • Could i have someone professionally pressure wash the engine?

Question stereo wiring diagram. single din 1997 pre amp.

Good morning everyone I am trying to take my old single din OEM stereo form my 1997 and put it in my 1985 VW golf GTI as a temp fix. The one issue I am having is all of the wiring diagrams I have found are either for double din stereos or for the two plugs coming off of the amp that comes with the original stereo. As I am not going to be using the amp. I need a single plug, single din wiring diagram for it. picture for the plug I need is attached. wiring it to the golf is no issue it literally only has 4 speakers, power and ground so those are the only wires I am going to need. I might also need to stop by home depo and buy some sort of switch because the original stereo for the golf was wired straight to the battery with no ignition switch and you would have to turn it on and off independently every time.

you could always take it to a car wash and pressure wash it there. alternatively my 1997 has 420,000 and the engine bay from the head down has always been covered in oil reside. My car doesn't lose oil very much, or at least not a noticeable amount, and I have never had it smoke before. The only thing I can think of it is leaking onto your exhaust manifold. Also it sounds like it didn't smoke before? I would guess that when you were cleaning some must have gotten on the exhaust manifold or something that heats up. I would just let it burn off I guess. I doubt it would catch fire but I'm no professional. I do know that the flash point for car oil is around 380°F and I highly doubt your engine is cooking up to that temperature. I would just look near the back of the engine and see what you can see. Also it could be the solvent or degreaser burning off. One time I got wd-40 on my exhaust manifold and it was smoking up a storm on my old VW and I just let it burn off at idle. degreasing solvent could have a flash point of around 172°F though. honestly hope this helps.

Find someone local to steam clean the engine bay. Cost me $100 and was well with it

it's well documented all over the internet, but looking at it the way you're holding it, the 4 pairs of wires on the left are speakers.

Big yellow on the right is BAT power, black is gnd. Red is switched power and blue is antenna power trigger (out)

It's very odd, because on the OME website, apparently they do not make parts for the 3rd gen??

I am nearly positive your valve cover gaskets are leaking, so the mess will persist until you address that. One of the best maintenance jobs you can do - my motor is clean and bone-dry now. It was an oily mess when I bought it. I painted the insides of my skid plates light tan and there are no drips anywhere. Once you stop the weeping, your cleaning will have an effect and the motor will burn off the remaining residue.

OBDII Code Reading - Preparation?

Yesterday, i wanted to use my harbor freight OBDII reader to check for any engine codes on my 00' limited. So i drove the truck until it was at operating temperature and then connected my reader to the plug under the dash. Once attached though the reader didnt display any codes which made me kind of skeptic.

I remember when i went for a smog test i had to drive the truck for some time before the various ECU monitors were ready to be tested. Is this the same issue where i need to drive the truck to prepare the ECU to diagnose/search for possible engine codes?

engine is being steam cleaned this morning..

TIA

You could very well be correct. I figure if it is in fact that, having the engine clean will make the repair that much easier b/c it will be clean. I plan on changing the plugs after the engines cleaned and possibly tightening the valve covers a bit and then observe.
