Hi

First off I realise the wiring is different on the 12v Corsa. Basically I've bolted the C20LET in yesterday and now want to tackle the wiring.

Can I pull the old 12v loom back into the car, then just colour match the wires to the C20LET engine loom as per the other Corsa B's? I read somewhere there is more to it than that, ie the fuel pump relay is elsewhere?

All advice appreciated. Best advice will be u2u'd some amazing porn

fuel relay is behind the glovebox.its pin 8 or 9 i think on the relay for the thick red blue wire. u need to join the green rev counter wire from the let to the green wire on the eps if it has it. i run the coolant blue wire, the eml blue brown wire,the thin blue red straight up to the wiring behind the clocks. the brown yellow i leave by the footwell so if ur eml light comes on u can just earth that wire to flash the codes out. leave brown white dsconnected. ignition live werever is easiest to get too.

Lee - sorry, explain that again?

So you have the square 9 pin connector on the XE/LET loom, and you connect those pins to what?

green to eps in footwell. black to ignition live, thick red/blue to relay pin 8 or 9 behind glovebox, brown/blue to wiring behind clocks along with the blue and the thin blue/red. brown white not used. brown yellow just left somewhere u can get too easy to earth it to flash codes up. red to permanant live

ecu is on the engine on the 1.0 12v, you will need to get a sport 16v of gsi 16v dash loom, this will come as a whole to wire in the engine, this will levae you the plugs you need in the drivers footwell, then simply get a wiring adapter from twag for a let into gsi and job done

Is it really worth taking the dash out for that?

So the loom I need to replace is the one that runs from the passenger footwell to the driver footwell and has all the stuff on it for heaters, stereo, indicators, speedo etc...?

And thats easier than just pulling the 12v engine bay loom back into the car and matching it up to the LET loom?

Probably something un-used like the auto-box, air-con or something.

Hang on a sec guys, on Vauxsport it says RED/WHITE is the autobox wire (unused in conversion) and BLACK/GREEN is aircon (also unused)

When you say brown/yellow is that the thick wire in the engine bay to the battery positive?

If the car is running then obviously the fuel pump is working, so I'd say your wiring is right

Lee said pin 8 or 9 on the relay... can you confirm which?

Ok so I've got the LET loom in the drivers footwell, and I'm running the wires up to behind the clocks (temp, rev counter, ecu light etc...), now when I cut the existing wire behind the clocks, am I then just joining the wires from the LET loom to the clocks themselves, OR do I tie all three bits together (so each wire is like a Y joint)

Okay it looks like I'm getting there!

In the engine bay I'm working on the three-wire plug from the Corsa starter/charger loom. There's a red/black (ign live?) and a blue/grey which I've joined to the 1.0 12v engine loom thats still in the bay.

Only thing I think I've got left to do now is the ignition live on the C20LET loom in the engine bay (single pin plug under the dizzy, black wire). Where do people join this to?
