After wiring mine up like this the brake lights are always on. Ive tested all the connections... and its wired properly. Brake switch is good. Cant seem to wrap my head around why its doing that..
@hestermannmotorwerks2 ай бұрын
First thing is to check your grounds. If you unbolted one or two in the build, get them grounded again. Next, Use a needle or a pin and see if there is voltage before the converter. If there is constant voltage on the brake wire (red/black) before the converter, problem is upstream in the car. If voltage is correct there (only voltage when the brake is depressed) then check that the converter is grounded and wired correctly, it’s possible you have a bad converter. If voltage is coming out of the converter correctly, then there is a missing ground or a problem in the tail lights themselves

I'm working on this area on my 2nd beetle and I notice that you retained the vertical body line but your door does not stick way out like mine did. I like that look but the only way I could have achieved it would have been to shim behind the surround panel to push it out. Is that what you did there to bring it out or is there a difference in model years? Both of my builds are 07's and the door sticks way out and looks weird. Because of that, I filled that area to make it flush. Lots of extra work.
@hesty323 ай бұрын
I can't remember what video talks about that. But the answer is yes, I often put a spacer on the B-piller (panel bond) before mounting the rear window surround. I usually cut it out of the window fall off. That seems to work nicely. Sometimes the rear window surround is a little tight though when fitting it. Just depends on the kit. I also did one on the outside. Bonded a piece of fiberglass onto the outside of the rear window surround which is much the same as laying a couple layers of glass on there as you did. I challenge I found of putting the spacer on the outside is that the upper rear corner can come out weird and it takes a lot of sanding to get it looking good. When I do a single piece of fiberglass from the rear window cut out, it still ends up being about a 3/32-1/8 inch difference behind the rear of the door and the front edge of the window surround. But putting a thicker spacer in makes it really tough to get the rear window surround on and laying correctly. So I accept the 3/32-1/8 difference.

First thing I recommend is double checking your PIN numbers. It is easy to count the wrong direction or misread the little numbers. If you do indeed have a wire already in pin 39, then I’m not sure what is going on. All the gas engines from 2000 and newer utilize the same pin

Hello Mr. Hestermann, I have a few questions about several pieces that I see in this video that you have added, but I did not receive in my Smyth Kit for my MK5 Jetta. Between 2:27 and 2:34 in your video, it shows you riviting some kind of plate on the outside of the left side bed panel. My kit did not have this piece in it. Is this something extra that you added? Also, between 6:47 and 7:41 in this video, it shows you riviting an aluminum plate under the left bed side panel and then bolting that same piece of aluminum to the B-Pillar brace. I didn't get that piece of aluminum in my MK5 kit. Is this something extra that you have added? Also at 7:35 in the video it shows another panel rivited to the right side bed panel above the gas filler neck cup. Is this another extra piece that you added? I didn't get one in my kit. Also, behind both wheel wells, there is a straight channel brace rivited between the side bed panels and the outer edge of the body floor pan. Once again, is this an extra brace that you added? I didn't receive these two braces in my MK5 kit! I would really appreciate your assistance with these questions! Thank you.

I can’t thank you enough for putting this together (especially the wiring section) as I don’t think Id be able to do it without punching walls without it! So far my biggest obstacle is the fact that some owner before me replaced the exhaust at some point and I’ll have to cut and reweld it. Not terrible since a bracket had popped loose and that will need to be rewelded as well…. 😤 Oh and getting all the triple square bolts connecting the trans to the motor wasn’t difficult… but getting to them WAS. Why VAG chose to use both m12 AND m14 was beyond me… I had m6-12 I had to go buy another set to get the m14 🤬 As it stands I need to get the 3 torque converter bolts - drop the 09a - do the wiring - and bolt in all the new stuff (including a steering rack since mine was leaking like crazy). I also need to make sure I have all the random brackets to keep the shift linkage straight… I think I have most everything else.

Great point! I usually remove the TCU and bag/tape the connector when I don’t do full wire harness surgery. If PRNDL still show up in your instrument cluster, the ECU and cluster are trying to communicate with the TCU and you will get errors/CELs. The TCU removed and ECU programmed to manual, you will still get a code for no communication with TCU but it won’t trigger a CEL. Thanks for highlighting this!
