    i have a single plug y reg vts engine and having problems trying to rewire the loom to match the interior plug, would a 3 plug loom work?

    thanks

    no well not just the loom, cause the ecu connectors different.

    Alot of people will tell you to get a 3plug vts ecu and matching loom so its plug and play. But it can be done fairly easly. Tis common for the ax owners to rewire looms since we have to, just the saxo boys get a bit nervous i think

    There is a solution to that though, using the spare brown temp sensor on the block and a simple circuit + relay. You can then retain the current rad and fan.

    Maplin do something that could probably fit the bill

    you would need to swap a few resistors to get it switching at the right temp tis all

    far too complicated for me that, i like it to be as simple as possible, unplug the old bit and plug in the new bit

    with a small amount of application from yourself you can do so much more. i like the creativeness ryanmt.
