The loom isnt long enough without extension to reach the CECM from the passenger side - the ones supplied by kufatec are designed for left hand drive cars and they arent willing to make right hand drive ones, so its either find another grommet like I did, or extend the loom appropriately after you are through the p/s grommet that you have already used.

Great! I've got so much to do in the next 4 weeks anyway - I may leave this until the summer!

Its a reasonably simple install - just takes time to get it all in place and working.

My parents garage looks like an abandoned VW dealers the number or parts that are sitting there awaiting a weekend that i'm off to fit them all - because im moving house on the 28th and i've kind of said to the mrs I wont do any more work on the car until we are fully settled in the new place. So i'm doing everything I want to the car before the 28th March!   :laugh:
