John, Photo copy the Vanagon wiring and the Golf wiring. Cut and paste the two until you have connected each wire to the engine. This is the best part of using this VW engine in a Vanagon, that everything is compatable. Once you have a complete wiring diagram again, you need to copy it again. Use your new copy and start wiring. Highlight ever wire that is completed. You will find some of the existing wiring harnesses are compatable with what you need to wire. Some will be to short and you will just be using the connector pig tail. Yuo picked a good choice of engines. If you need any other help let me know.

I've begun tracing the wires, however was wondering if there are any diagrams out there besides the Bentley. Also, does anyone have a write-up of what each pin is for on the Digifant II ecu connector? Before it'll run I'll need to plug everything back in! > >Any help is appreciated.
