ALH TDI pinout.

[gmenounos]

Hey everyone, I'm in the middle of swapping an '00 ALH/5 speed into an '03 1.8t/automatic (both were jetta's).

I'm having trouble with the T14a connector that the pin out is shown on this thread. In the 1.8t jetta, I'm missing pin 3 (green) and pin 10 (black with green stripe).

I also see on the diagram that pin 10 should go to the load reduction relay. I traced this black/green stripe wire to fuse 10 (small fuses) on the 2000 wiring, but it doesn't seem to exist on the 1.8t. The bottom blade of the load reduction relay traces continuity to fuses 20, 21, and 36 on the 1.8t, but those also exist on the TDI, so I need that extra wire...

Pin 88 of the ECU goes to pin 10 of T14a which then goes through a 5A fuse to the fat black wire with red stripe that goes to the load reduction relay. Your 1.8t jetta will not have that 5A fuse so you'll need to add it. You could probably just add an inline fuse - that's what I did to make my glow plugs work on my ALH conversion.

Can't see any pictures. Past the expiration date?

Would like to see the details.

Here are the pics

I just seen this, and since this helped me out so much, I had saved them, so here they are.

What a great resource! I'm doing a AHU/Tracker swap. Does anything like this happen to be available for the AHU?

[Saburai]

Thanks! Pardon my ignorance, but this is the pin out for the ecu connector, correct? Many thanks!

 

[ken.fresno-tdi]

yep. It has a 68 pin ECU. Best way to do a TDI conversion with one is to make sure you get the engine wiring harness, the go 'gas' pedal, brake and clutch pedal switches, and a good engine.

 

[94cobra2615]

Is there a way to increase the resolution of the pinout diagrams? I can barely read them

 

[ken.fresno-tdi]

If you right click on the image, copy it, then paste it into a program like Word it will show up as a picture. It is then much more clear.

 

[alvaropach]

hi i have a jetta mk4 2005 1.8t and try to swap alh 1.9 tdi , now we have a lot of pronblem whit wiring harness see the pin out and is a good beguinin , i have 3 dtc codes but no have diesel presasure in the injectors
dtc are
17660
19561
17970

if you can help me many thanks

 

[alvaropach]

These pictures are subject to change but I wanted to get the information I have gathered out there. I know there are plenty of people that do TDI swaps beyond just VW people. My goal here is to help ALL TDI swappers get there swaps running as the factory intended.

Please remember though...my donor is from a 2001 Beetle Auto donor and going in a 1984 Rabbit GTI so I'm a little geared toward that thinking.

This is also an evolving set of picture. I haven't even finished the swap yet but I'm close to having the wiring figured out.

And now I present...

ALH TDI wiring Version 1.2

1.1 - change - correct title
1.2 - change - T6/1 Brown - power to ECU when key is on. To pin 121/37 on ECU.

hi dear i need your support make a swap om jetta mk4 1.8 t to 1.9 tdi alh ngine of gof mk4 2001 , i make work but no have power the turbo run 17 lbs but no chamge the aceleration when beguin to load boost , check all an i dont know what more to do i think is a signal missin but check all wiring and go to the ecu

 

[tgray]

1st make sure your turbo is working right. Hook a vacuum hose with full vacuum to the turbo while idling. You should see the actuator move fully while putting the hose on and off. You should hear a different sound. If that is working then take a good look at where your hoses are connected. Make sure you have everything mechanically right before you look at the electrical side. Make sure the right plug is in the right module. The EGR valve looks just like the turbo.

 

[cuban11182]

Here is the wiring and pinnout of the ALH motors and a video I made of how to pull the wires from the harness. Have fun with it.

 

[Timpo456]

so I'm doing an engine swap do you need to hook up pin 88 to anything or not? like I'm confused what pin I need to power up the ecu. like ignition on. I know I need to hook up pin 1 and 2 to 12v power and 4 and 5 to ground pin 3 is empty rest goes to the colored plugs, Map sensor and to starter and I guess speed sensor?

Yes, if you want your glow plugs to work:

Hi folks, wondering if anybody can do a back-check for me on the following. Wanting to make sure I have the protocols right - the key question being whether 5V or 12V is the expected VSS. For the rest of them, I'm pretty sure I have it right but any and all input would be appreciated!

For backchecking with the forum

As you may know, the circuit from ECU Pin 20 goes to the Cluster at T32/3.

So, I am not sure what you are trying to determine. If it is 5 volts or 12 volts, you cannot change it. Other than tapping into that circuit, I have no clue how you could determine the voltage.

Anyway, when I installed the ALH TDI engine in my Vanagon, I tried to incorporate as many of the bells and whistles as possible. For example, I modified the Jetta Cluster to fit in place of the Vanagon Cluster.

In reference to the VSS in my Vanagon application: I screwed the VSS head onto the Ticker Box of the Vanagon (perfect fit) to obtain wheel rotation input. The VSS gets 12 volts from Fuse #7, per the schematics. The VSS output signal (no clue the voltage) goes to the Input on a Dakota Digital Interface that I used. I used Switched 12 volts to the Dakota Digital Interface. Most likely with advice from someone who knew, I chose the 2000 ppm Output signal to the Cluster at T32/28. The Dakota Digital Interface has Up and Down dip switches to calibrate the signal going to the Cluster. With the help of my wife, we drove down the highway using GPS to let me know how fast the Van was moving. We set the speed spot-on. Luckily, the odometer is about 99.99% accurate.

So, I surmise once the Cluster receives the signal from the VSS (in my case, the Dakota Digital) it uses it to operate the Speedometer. And, at the same instant the signal goes out 32/3 of the Cluster to the ECU at Pin T120/20. The ECU uses the data to operate the Cruise Control.

I know this doesn't directly answer you question. Maybe someone that's monitored the voltage or have a known source of info can provide the answer you seek.

 

[ccorn90]

Thanks for the reply @AndyBees.

What I'm trying to determine is whether I can tie pin 20 directly to an 12V, 8000 pulse-per-mile signal that's existing in the swap vehicle, or whether I will need to use a level shifter to match the signal that the ALH ECU is expecting already.

Since the donor car is trash, I don't have an easy way to sniff that signal and see what's going on. If anybody has info on this, that would be really appreciated!

For anyone following this guide, PLEASE do not follow it word for word.
Check your wire colors!!

For example, my 2002 and 2003 NB white connector does not have wire on pin #9, instead my yellow/black MAP wire is on #10.

Best to follow Haynes or Bentley. This is a great guide but it's not a 100% plug and play as I've found out. Still I give thanks to the OP. It's a great start.

 

[AndyBees]

Yeah, by the time this Sticky was posted in 2013, I had already put together my own Pin-out for a 2002 ALH. I used the Bentley to put it together. I did find a few things not as set out in the Bentley.

Can you share?

 

[AndyBees]

Can you share?

I'd have to put it in a useable shareable format. It is in a combo of excel and word perfect as well as working copies of selected schematics from the Bentley. I did it to guide me through my conversion. I have around 50 to 60 pages of copies of schematics from the Bentley for working purposes with noted references. And, numerous write-ups on specific "splices" as they are used internal of the OE harness and how I used them as well as connectors and the wires going to and away by color code references. I hole-punched and put the pages in a Ring Binder to be my User Manual for the conversion (lots of penciled notes in the margins).

My conversion involved installing the Jetta Cluster in place of the Vanagon Cluster. I included many bells and whistles that others do not with their conversions. That's, in part, why my "cliffs notes" are so extensive. (signal lights L&R, emergency flasher lights, CEL lite, GP Lite, high beam, low brake fluid, low coolant, low washer fluid, cruise light, calibrated Speedometer, Tach, Temp gauge, fuel gauge, etc.). It has an OBD port at the dash and in the back in the engine bay.

Anyway, most everything I have is what's in this Thread as far as the basic pin-out, which is mostly on the first page, but no pics.

The conversion is documented here in the TDI Club (very long), please, no comments in the Thread. Messaging me is okay.

I actually want to do something similar. But I want to use the new beetle cluster in my Mk1 rabbit pickup.

 

[AndyBees]

In the link below, is my Face Book account that I use to post some of the stuff I do with VWs. That last post is a video of the engine running. Also, you can scroll back to September 18, 2024 and see more videos of the engine and part of the dash with gauges. It will only take a few seconds to scroll back.
