Do you have AC? The wires are there whether you have it or not. My '86 had this extra yellow connector at that spot. It did not have AC and this wire was never used. The oil switch on your '85 only uses one (brown?) wire. (2.1s would have two separate wires.) I don't recall my '85 having a yellow connector on it, but it may have. Good luck with your Boston Bob engine. My 1.9 BB has 8K trouble-free miles on it now.

Good morning all. I've just replaced my motor with a Boston Bob lovely 1.9. in my 1985 Vanagon GL.

Question I have is that I've labled all my wires in the engine compartment prior to taking them off, and have everything re-connect but the oil pressure sensor.

Originally there was a brown wire connected to the sensor that terminated in a male spade connector that was enclosed in a yellow plastic cover w/ the VW and germany markings on it. I take it that is original.

I don't recall seeing it connected to anything else.

Now the only other wires I have left un spoken for are coming out of a wiring harness on the drivers side of the engine compartment near the firewall is a red wire w/ a male spade connector in the same yellow cover w/ germany markings and a brown cable w/ a grounding lug connector on it.

This is a smaller guage wire, so I don't *think* it is a 12 volt supply. Not as large as the red going to the alternator.

The Bentley specifies the oil pressure sensor wires are Blue and Black, however, I could not find one such as that. Red genrally donates a hot wire.

Any ideas ? Thanks much !
