[s-cars] 1.8t Coil Pack Conversion ECU Connector Solution

[Dave Forgie]

One of the problems with the 1.8t coil pack conversion solution has been
 finding a connector to mimic the four pin end of the OE POS units.   
 Several people have been looking and so far nothing has shown up.  I   
don't think a compatible connector will ever be found.

Recently, a fellow in Ontario, Canada, Eddy M., did the conversion.  Eddy
 works at VW dealership and was able to snoop through the parts bins to
 find something that works.  Turns out the four pin connector end of a TDi   
glow plug set or the end of a four wire Jetta IV O2 sensor is the male   
equivalent of the 4B0 973 724 (or 1J0 973 724) coil pack connectors. This
 male connector is part no.  1J0 973 824.  I just checked this out at VM   
Autohaus and the 824 snaps nicely into the 724 connector.


So rather than use the Jetta III taillight connectors to mate with the OE   
ECU to POS connector, you would buy two more coil pack connectors and
 remove and load the ECU to OE POS pins into them and then terminate
 the coil pack POS wires and POS grounds with male pins in two 1J0 973
 824 connectors (instead of the Jetta III taillight connectors).  Buy 12
 more of the red silcon seals and you will have a nice water tight solution.

And its all DIY.
