hodgy 0 Posted April 7, 2008 i went to donny at the weekend and didnt even make 1 lap! car set its self on fire! a wire off the coil(blue) melted its self and set on fire and cut the engine out half way down crainer curves. to get home i managed to find some wire and make a quick fix but i wanna fix it properly. do i 1.get a new loom 2. take my loom out and re place the melted wire? also id like a pic of a ph1 coil on the car as from the amp is a purple wire which clips onto the neg side of the coil then come straight off and has a clip that goes to no where. i would like to know where it goes after driving home i lost indicators,wipers and lights so its making me think ive got a bad earth making everything go funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 9 Posted April 7, 2008 From memory a purple or blue wire on the coil sounds wrong. IIRC the wires are all black or red, but I might be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirGTI 342 Posted April 7, 2008 The purple wire with plug is for TDC sensor (if i'm not mistaken ) and on all cars with Ph1 coil it's not connected to anything .. (maybe it is on base models like on TU singlepoint engines , but not on GTi-s ..) i'll take a picture later Rgs ! Damir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hodgy 0 Posted April 8, 2008 thanx. so at least i know that wire doesnt do anything now. where that white block is it has 1 wire coming out of the loom and joins onto 2 wires, 1 from the coil and 1 from the ignition amp.one of the wires is blue! that is what has burnt out on mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
