If absolutely not... Why did they swapped i?

Anyway - we are not in America. We can barely afford a good used AWD car (golf passat jetta or audis) so why not build our own AWD if money is not a problem.

Fitted my ESP sensor same way as old one - works fine.
ABS In it Coding - used from old ABS Unit - works fine.
Ecu still as manual (wont accept VCDS coding).

You will need to code CAN and Central electronics + connect 5 wires to get haldex working (Can, +,-, ignition)

Sounds simply but took me a while as I went with swapping engine, gearbox to DQ500 (car was DSG already) + some other things.


did you get the wiring out of a donor car ?
where did you run the "(Can, +,-, ignition)" wires from and to?

Yeah, but also other spares from other cars.
Ignition as factory from fuse box, cans taken from door wiring as it was on my way, earth point somewhere.

Actually I think it was earth, ign, can, can + one to cecm.
I will have to check diagrams :fighting2:

i know its an old thread but was there anymore wiring/coding that needed to be done for everything to work?

Depends how far are you now.

I have done Haldex wiring - working.
Replaced ABS pump - ended up with errors.
ESP Multisensor placed instead of ESP Duosensor - G202 Implausible signal or ESP System Fault.
Engine coding - not able to code to AWD but 4 wheels spinning

Wiring diagram looks same for FWD/AWD - only one wire extra for awd.

In my 2005 there was 4 cables and I was able to get rid of faults at standstill. When driving and making turn ESP goes mad. Not sure now if its wiring fault or sensor position (AWD should be upside down and facing back - not sure about this)

I will try to sort it tomorrow  :indifferent:
Looking for an assistance
I have mechanic who was doing AWD conversion on my Golf 5 GTI
All hardware had been installed
Golf 6R gearbox and Haldex
The only thing left was to do the wiring. Unfortunately he has moved away and I am left stuck.
Any assistance with wiring the Haldex and the ABS for AWD, would be very helpful.
Any any coding to do afterward. I got the VCDS with me
