    Tried getting help off 106 owners forum and not one person will help me.. So thought I would try here ....
    Basically, I have a 106 Quiksilver.
    I bought a 1.6 gti engine for it and then realised that my car is single plug however the one I bought is 3 plug.
    Is it just a case of buying a single plug ecu and loom for the engine to work?
    Or will thisnot work?

    You can get the 3 plug loom spliced into the internal loom. Or you can buy a 3 plug internal loom.

    Don't think you an use the single plug loom on a 3 plug engine as most of the sensors are different could just swap them all over I guess. I think splicing the loom would be the easiest and cheapest option.

    So a single plug loom and ecu will not make it work ?
    I just rang Pug1off n they seemed to think it would work, unless they were misunderstood....
    Do you have any idea how I would find out about splicing the loom? I am struggling to find much help on the internet

    iirc the interior loom has a different connector from single to 3 plug so would need splicing. Some one on here splices looms have a search.

    Pm tom5190 he splices looms

    You can use a single plug loom and ecu, but you need to swap the majority of the sensors on the engine to single plug sensors too, i cant remember which ones off the top of my head but it has been covered here a few times so might be able to find it.

    Would cost more for all the sensors and stuff than it would to splice the loom.

    Quite likely, however i personally would rather use a complete single plug set up than start using spliced looms.
    Thats just my opinion but i'm only letting the OP know that it is do-able with relative ease.
