[Vwdiesel] gas truck to 1.9td project finally drawing to a close..

[Nate Wall]

Well, the VW diesel has that little blue wire too and
its NOT the wire for the "W" (RPM terminal) on the
alternator. Its for the other little terminal, the one
next to the big lug that alternator power is tapped
from. (B+ or D+?). I think its wired to the alternater
charge warning LED in the cluster and provides the
excitation current. The "W" terminal on the diesel
alternator is hooked to the upshift control module,
dynamic oil pressure control unit (The tiny circuit
board for this sits next to the speedometer INSIDE the
instrument cluster and the one used for gas engines IS
DIFFERENT than the circuit board for diesel
applications, although they look almost identical
(Don't ask how I know this!, the cause of another
unnessary instrument cluster removal after I swapped
in a speedometer from a gas Jetta with the circuit
board attached! Close examination revealed that they
are indeed different and the warning circuit in the
diesel will not work with the boaed from a gasoline
engine) and to the tachometer on turbo diesel models.
The large red wire conects to the positive battery
terminal, I think the connection is at the starter.
