Thank you.

I'm doing the same conversion in my 89 mk2 golf to put in the AFN... I was quite fortunate there is a friend that sold me a complete CE2 golf mk2 wiring set to make the conversion. So the only thing left was to restore the AFN engine wiring that has been cut off, and I'm quite amazed to find it's really easy to put a mk3 engine in a mk2 since the wiring is almost plug n' play. Right now I'm doing repair on the chassis since it had a lot of rust damages.

Yes the mk2 with a CE2 makes like so much easier when going a mk3 engine conversion, AFN in a mk2 works very well. 👍🏼

I’ve been working on my mk2 vr6 swap for a while. I’ve been taking my time on the wire harness and I just got to taking the dash out my mk2. This hole time Ive been thinking that I had a CE1 car but no I had a US Built golf with us a totally different set up from CE1. The US Built has a relay box and separate fuse block lol 😂

I am putting GTI(PB block) exhaust manifold on my 1.8 monopoint(RP block), lambda(one wire type no heating element) on my stock manifold is located near the end od that manifold, the gti one( 4 wire type with heating element) is before the cat. Will my fuel/air mix be bad if I put lambda(one wire type) in place where the gti one should be? Thanks in advance!

Yes, VW put your 1 wire closer to the engine to heat up faster, with it now being lower down with only mean it'll take longer to heat up, you should hopefully not notice any real difference due to the GTI manifold flowing better.

Just changing every cable in the three wiring harnesess for the engine and lighting in a 1990 golf rallye after a full respray if you are interested in completing the project ?
