    Yes there a three looms you can have...

    1. Single plug

    2. Crossover

    3. 3 plug


    The single plug loom is the original mark 1 loom, single large ECU connector with the two smaller connectors to join to the interior loom.

    The crossover loom as its nicknamed is found on very early mark 2's made in 2000 (but not all just random ones it appears), these use the same large single ECU connector found on the single plug looms, but have the large single connector found on the passenger inner arch. These looms allow a single plug ECU to work a 3 plug interior loom (for digi dials).

    The 3 plug loom is the common mark 2 loom and has the 3 small ECU connectors and the large single connector on the passenger inner arch, the same as the crossover loom.


    If you need any more info regarding the crossover loom, and particularly 3 plug loom to crossover loom swap, PM me as i've put a lot of time and effort into researching whats what, should find out if i've got it all right this weekend

    Top = single plug crossover loom. Note the locations of the pins(well try), 3 plug uses the same connector with a different pin layout
    Bottom = standard single plug vts connector

    The map sensor changed from year to year, the TPS should be the same unless you had a 3 plug one.

    Ive got some spare sensors you can have for a few quid?
