   right can the bigger plug off a 3 plug ecu be spliced to fit a smaller plug off the single plug ecu?

   when i asked this i didnt get an answer
   i know its not help but u know
   
   i would just get 3 plug vts engine or source a crossover loom for a vts
   
   splicing looms isnt an easy job in my book

   i dont see why not mate i think all you would need is the pin outs of each plug and go from there matching the wires you need
   or pay some one to do it

   because it will have the single plug ecu (about 5 inch long instead of the 3 plugs you have) and the interior plug would be the big one (about 2 inch) same as one on your car
   and the inside of a large interior plug is green
   on the small one it has plastic moulded on the back (not like yours)

    theres more than one type of crossover loom depending on the spec of the car it came from

    but i know the fan defo wont work. 3 plug cars run the fan of the engine loom because its ecu controlled. single plug cars have a seperate loom with a sensor in the radiator to switch the fan on so you need a new rad, fan, and fan loom.

    single plug vts probably, they have the fan in front. im not sure on the crossover stuff it can be very hit and miss where citroen just made the cars out of whatever they had lying around. ive got vtr on the drive at the minute, has an early single plug loom but is w reg mk2 and has digi dials and rf central locking which is really weird

    no it had the 3 plug ecu i got told that 2000 was the crossover year so i presumed mine was one of them but it was a 3 plug from november 2000 so not a crossover
    but i also bought a engine of a guy on here that told me it was from a 2000 model but when it came it was 1999 mk1 engine so totally different loom
    and had to source a crossover loom (which took months)

    would have just been easier looking for a 3 plug engine tbh, but yeah your crossover loom wont plug into the fan so youre going to have to try and find a rad/fan and wiring for it from a single plug car.

    and i know yeah it would have been easier to do a 3 plug engine but got false info off this site and sold incorrect parts from this site again haha

    from memory its just a sensor in the radiator that goes to the fan. not sure off the top of my head at the minute
