98 Jetta TDI AHU 1.9L (944 TDI swap in progress) I moved so now i got nothing but an AHU in a garage on a pallet.
BTW, get some quality wire. go to places like capitol tristate or other commercial electrical supply stores. buy K welding lead wire. you wont regret getting some quality stuff, if you go with most of the big 3 kits out there, they all suck so much. most of them are CCA or Copper clad aluminum. aka the worst wire known to man. along with many issues, i would stay away from kits and make your own with quality connections rated for the wire you get (preferably 1/0 gauge). Use crimp down lugs then solder them and shrink wrap with 3m glue wrap for exterior use. avoid anything with allen keys lol
K welding lead wire is IMO the only way to go.

Did you do the wiring yourself? I am trying to run an extra wire from the alternator to the battery, but I'm having a hard time removing the nut on the alt on my 2012 Jetta TDI.
