Anyone with a mk3 cupra wanna do me a quick favour

[JKing]

I've managed to split the broken aux power plug on my power steering pump and solder new wires onto the connections. I now need to connect these wires to the rest of the original wiring but I don't know which colour wire goes to which connector!

Could someone pop out to their car and take a look, its the plug that connects into the top of the power steering pump (see pics below), need to know which side of the connector the red and which side the green wires connect to,

ill do ti with my phone later on for you, if i dont get beaten to it

Thanx mate, want to fit my modded plug when i get home about 5ish while i've still got some light left

You done the N249 valve bypass on your car? If not can you get some pictures of that for me, and I'll go get some pictures of mine and look at that plug.

red on top, green on bottom, thats the way my connector is angled

and mines snapped too

 

[JKing]

Nope not done the bypass (yet) here's a pic of my standard setup, just change all the vac hoses for red silicon ones.

 

[Jonzy]

They bypass is a piece of piss, im making up a new loom to move the n249 and the other one to somewhere hidden.

 

[JKing]

so I would guess on mine it would be red right, green left??

Must be shoddy wiring if your's has gone aswell. I split my plug with a knife then soldered on new wires, didn't take me long and looks stronger than standard.

I agree, been reading the other "how to" thread and bypassing the n249 looks very easy. I'd like to move it out of the way aswell so let me know how u get on mate.

Ive found a few wires that have snapped on the plugs, ordered a load of new plugs and pins to replace a few this weekend

 

[JKing]

so with the new plugs do they come with wiring attached so you can attach to the original wiring?

nope, you have to buy the plug body/pins seperatly

 

[Craig!]

Right, here's mine...

As you can see my green lead has started to wear through, it's the first time I've noticed this myself!!

 

[JKing]

perfect mate thanx a lot, your connector is sitting the opposite way to mine so as you look at mine the green one will be on the right.

Looks like the wiring is very suspect on theses then, get them checked guys

 

[Jonzy]

Cant be causing that much a problem though, not noticed anything wrong with mine.

 

[Craig!]

Yeh, I was going to say it's all well and been people saying what colours where the the connectors could be like mine and upside down. Hence why I got a picture as I was sure mine was the other way round!!

 

[JKing]

yep exactly what I needed mate. I haven't noticed any difference at all either but just wanted to get it fixed, apparently it supplie more power to the pump when need i.e when your turning on the spot

 

[flashbsd]

whats this n249 bypass?

 

[Jonzy]

Removes the n249 valve and the big black box from the top of the engine

 

[mark65]

i'll be checking mine when it stops snowing.... had suspect power steering for a while now

 

[JKing]

fitted my modified plug and masked up the wiring best i could, need heat shrink really. made sure theres plenty of slack so hopefully it'll be fine now
