I got the Kufatec loom from Alex and went about it today with the help of my mate.
Also used this guide:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,62645.0.htmlalong with other snippets of information that were about on various sites but nothing actually decent. Alex also sent me the Kufatec instructions which were basically what Jason rmh had already compliled.
Just to recap my configuration.
My car had fully electric drivers seat from the factory. Not heated.
Put in manual R32 buckets (from an S3 but same thing) that are heated with no electric adjustment.
My car is a MY2005/early 2006 but the loom was actually a MY2007+ loom apparently this is what Kufatec decided would be the right one.
The kufatec loom was crap being in German and having ALL grey wires with the colours "written" on them in German... despite what I read I found the loom did reach fine without having to cut or extend.
Firstly the guide, the pictures do not match the writing which was very confusing (especially regarding fuses). But we followed the writing/diagram below (as best we could)
What we did:
As I do not have electric lumbar support on the Recaros we ignored the 20am fuse circuit for the electric lumbar support, especially as it was already taken for the pre-existing loom I can only assume.
We wired to Fuse#37 (30a) power for heated seats
Switched live Fuse 8 (if 4 and 7 are already in use) was also in use already (all 3) so we used
Fuse9 which was being fed off the same circuit as fuse 4,7 and 8 (verfied with multi-meter testing)
Ran the only left over wire from the Loom (that wouldn't fit into the anything in the fuse box) to CECM block/module C - pin 1. this was empty till we added the circuit.
(in the diagram this is c/1 on the cecm. I/2 we did nothing with as was not mentioned in the guide and L/2 would have been fuse#9)
Then we ran wiring to the newly installed heater control panel: As per the guide with my car having Climatronic full auto AC like any other GTI we ran blue (BLAU) to pin 10, blue/red (BLAU / ROT) to pin 11 and the remaining wire which had nothing written on it (we presumed it was grey) to pin 12.
Used VCDS to enable heated seats under 09-cent electrics
Tested operation and nothing - in VCDS measuring blocks heated seat were "inactive" and VCDS scan showed "Heated seat - open or short to ground".
Does anyone have any information that could help get this working?
thanks.
