Wiring in a disco 300tdi

(1/1)

landyman Ash:
I ned to wire in the disco 300tdi into my 90 hybrid.  It has a 90 V8 loom.  

Im fine with alternator etc BUT its the glow plug solonoid.  There are a handful of black (earth I presume) and the brown and yellow.  What does that need to go to?

Apart from starter, what else is needed on a Tdi?  Ive only ever owned V8s!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!   :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Xtremeteam:
thers 5 wire to make it go

1 for the stop solenoid,
1 for te oil pressure
1 for collant temp
yellow goes to glow plug & the other is the 1 for activating the relay,

in theory you shouldnt need to have glow plugs to make it start,there will also prob be a wire kicking about so the motor no's when its in park/N for starting

landyman Ash:
Nice one mate, thougfht you'd know  :wink:

So the only one Im not sure of id the stop solonoid, what should that be wired into?  Just ignition feed????

hingmy:
I'll sort of be doing the opposite of you at the end of the week -fitting a 300tdi defender loom into a v8 hybrid. The engine end of the main loom has 2 plugs. One is for the actual engine loom (oil pressure etc) and a heavier one is for the glow plug relay. I'll make a note of what is where and let you know.

landyman Ash:
I had a 300tdi loom for my V8.....

......cut the diesel bits out and then 3 months on......

Put a 300tdi in.

Kicking myself or what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :evil:  :evil:
