Dose any one know of a TDI ALH Standalone Engine Management System?
There is several people on here that do it in the states, not sure about canada though.thank you oilhammer do you know where I could go to get immobilizer tuned out? from what I under stand it could then run with out the instrument cluster?
Seriously, anyone doing an E-TDI swap without doing a tune at the same time, is nucking futs. If you're going to do an E swap, for pete's sake just send the ecu to a tuner and have the immo deleted and a tune of some sort thrown in (EGR/MAF delete if nothing else). The amount of time alone that's saved by having the immo deleted pays for the $50-100 price tag of the service.
With all the info out there now, doing a 121 pin ecu swap has never been easier. If you do a 99.5 ecu, you have to change chips instead of being able to obd flash.
looks like you are having some fun here do you have any drawings for that mess of wires that you have there!The 121 pin ecu and harness are just begging to be made into a stand alone unit, once you cut off the part of the harness going to the cluster and fuse box you have a great starting point, and most of the injector pump and engine sensors are already wired.
Here's a pic of the two parts of the ecu harness, the one side goes to the engine and doesnt have to be cut or spliced, except for a couple wires going to the fuse box.
The other side needs to be connected to things like the fuse box, throttle pedal, N75, MAP, MAF, ignition switch...
I was seriously considering paying the $1000+ for the custom harness, but then I got back to reality... Who's gonna work on this thing if it breaks, or the harness needs modifications... Me, so I better figure out how to wire it
Correct, you don't need any of that.If you tuned out or delete the immobilizer will you not need the interment cluster and fuse box any more?
So where is this info? All I see is vague pictures dead links pages of talkSeriously, anyone doing an E-TDI swap without doing a tune at the same time, is nucking futs.

the wiring diagrams in your bentley are all you need, it's what i used to build my first harnessSo where is this info? All I see is vague pictures dead links pages of talk
And hear say. I know plenty have done it so why is there not a nice clear accurate diagram to follow ( all common uses engines) or did I miss it? Sorry if that's the case?? Also Incase anyone thinks I need everything done for me or hold my hand etc
I've done more than my fair share of oddball conversations some needing piles of wiring to sift through with no online help so I'm
Just over that now especially as the info IS out there so if somebody can put a link here I'm sure it would help a lot of people and save this topic reoccurring
Thankyou
Do you have any wiring diagrams you could send me i cant seem to find anything anywhere online new to witing more of a mechanical guyThe 121 pin ecu and harness are just begging to be made into a stand alone unit, once you cut off the part of the harness going to the cluster and fuse box you have a great starting point, and most of the injector pump and engine sensors are already wired.

Thank you for the help i did end up finding the diagram in your link probably should have learned how to navigate this site better before asking for help but im glad to know people are so eager to help one another out thanks again much appreciatedAssuming you have not seen this: https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/alh-tdi-pinout.387649/
Im not swapping into anything just looking to eliminate wiring in the existing volkswagon car im assuming ur diagram is applicable?Back 2009-10-11-12, I installed a 2002 ALH engine in an 84 Vanagon. As I stated earlier in this Thread, finding info was like pulling hen's teeth. It seemed like no one wanted to share their knowledge. So, when I did my Conversion project, I shared everything as best I could.
I spent hours upon hours detangling the wiring harness which came in a garbage bag. I got everything with the purchase,,,, engine, wiring harness, accelerator pedal, ignition switch, cluster, etc. I used the Bentley Manual wiring schematics, brown tape for labeling, etc. As Archemitis stated earlier in this Thread, "Who's gonna work on this thing if it breaks, or the harness needs modifications... Me, so I better figure out how to wire it...." So, when I finished my project, all of my notes, drawings, etc., were placed in a Ring Binder for future use if necessary. I spent hours upon top of hours studying the diagrams in the Bentley. So, gleaning info here and there is just fine, but you need to begin building a reference source for your project.
At the top of this Category (TDI Conversions) is a Thread containing many of the Conversions of which all vary as to what was done in the process. As you will learn, many of us put in hours and hours of research, studying diagrams, etc. Many folks shared the info in their build project Thread. So, take a look and see what you might find. TDI Conversions: Build Threads and Links to Swap DiscussionsAlso doing TDI(ALH) into 2011 Ranger, most components thru TD Conversions, Fast Forward doing harness/ecu upgrades, has anyone been able to connect VW ecu to Ford instrument cluster so you can have working gauges , internet searches come up empty
