I'd actually recommend removing the harness first. It's not that hard to get out with the engine installed, and it gets a lot of rather fragile stuff out of your way. > > Not sure about the FI harness that leads into the cabin...that could > > be a challenge to pull thru into the engine bay.

None of the FI harness goes any farther than the engine, except for 1 wire which may go to the starter, so this is not a problem. > I was thinking of saving the entire, complete wiring harness for the > whole car, not only the FI harness.

There are actually 2 main parts to the harness: Front & Rear; then there are a few minor bits here and there. The fuse box links the main parts together. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
