Ahh ok, excellent! I’ll have to check out JK a take a look!

Ok so that’s the one I’ve got, the injection pump one too and a few others from ErWin. Always on the lookout for new sources and deeper looks into this van!

Not checked but you could have a look at Andys (Syncroandy) site. https://syncrosport.com/ I actually sent Andy a message yesterday not realizing he was the man behind Syncrosport! Regarding a different topic, but still!   VW used multiple suppliers, and that information will only be held by VW, yo...

I know this is a stretch, but has anyone seen the actual manufacturing schematics sent to the electric shops that built the original wiring harnesses with all the various plugs and connectors, wire colors, gauges, and lengths, etc.? I'm looking at a lot of the wiring in my 1990 1.6 TD JX and am thin...
