Avante

Sorted. Just cut both connectors off and connected the cables to each other. Thanks for the help.

I've ordered the plug to arrive tomorrow. Swapping alternators in the morning then I presume I'll be waiting all day for the Postie. Just to make sure, the blue load wire connects to the flat side of the D-clip? And the green/purple to the rounded side of the clip?

Just an image I've pulled of Google but I think they look decent - but each to their own. Here

Been looking at a set of those but in black not chrome, just a wish list item though for now

Smashed up a stereo module connector and use the spade clips from that to clip onto the connectors of the socket. Just need to wire the wires together now, but I'm not sure which one would be which. Gonna have to find a picture of the connector and see which colour is on the flat side of the connector.

That sounds like a plan. Need to get her started so I can take it to my mates to get new alternator fitted - I've got a mate on his way round now with some wire and a soldering iron to see what we can do.

I can't seem to get the contacts out the connector housing. Does it need to remain in one piece?

It was indeed that. I've got the connector in my hand now, both wires are hanging loose. New alternator on today and see if I can get this rewired up. Thanks for the help and quick response. Edit; Currently attempting to cut the neck of the housing away to see if it's possible to solder some new wires, unless there's an easier method for this problem?

Could anyone tell me what's going on here and if it is worth fixing myself? I have another alternator I bought which isn't putting out enough power, that, or I need to look at the load wire as I've read on a few threads. Has been running as shown in the picture for a few days, but today my car failed to start. After about ten minutes after getting it started the power steering went. http://imgur.com/9ieKAVQ

I kept my old one on and worked around it. I think you can get them from eBay fairly cheap. Actually more pricey than I thought; http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-SKODA-FABIA-MK1-6Y-VRS-GRILLE-BADGE-6Y0853679MEL-/321974270740?nav=SEARCH

Alright, I've gone broken the clip off from the pipe that connects to the EGR at the top and tied it to the delete using jubilee clips. Is there a way I could replace my cleaned EGR and not have to buy another pipe just for the sake of holding it in with the standard clips? Or what's the best way to go about this? (I am considering a remap if this helps or changes my options?). Thanks for the response. I'll definitely be replacing the ASV but I may leave the EGR blanked out still? Just to solve the shudder.

I'm experiencing quite bad shudder when switching off the engine after fitting the darkside delete kit. I understand I've lost my anti shudder valve by fitting the EGR delete as I have the ASZ. I've read though the comments and haven't seen anyone mention about the shudder, I'm not sure if it's anything to worry about or not? Have I fitted the delete kit wrong somehow? Or is this normal?

First attempt at anything like this and apart from accidentally scratching the paint while it was drying, I'm happy with the results. http://imgur.com/a/zq8iT [/IMG]

Makes better sense now, no I've never removed the actual sensor, just the connector bit - how much roughly would we be talking for a compression test from a garage?

There's definitely no torx screw on mine, just a plug that clips in like the fuel injector connectors do. I understand better now thanks Wino, my engine was off at the time when it slid off the connector slightly.
