Thanks Steve!
I'll be on the lookout for one. Come to think of it, the early toyota vans have a similar look. I need to get my head under one and see whats what.

More details. It would seem that after years of trying to get it, I have the correct wiring harness heading my way in the next week. I purchased the O2 sensors today. Amazing, a local "european" parts store wanted $350 for the pair, went to the VW Dealer, $100 for the pair. AMAZING! More than triple for the same parts. The VW Dealer has surprised me a few times with how little their prices are. Also purchased a glass pre-filter for big chunks, and the stock 1.8t fuel filter for after the fuel pump, and some fuel-safe thread sealand for the fittings onto the fuel pump and to the bottom of the gas tank..

On the cooling side of things, I purchased the fittings for my air bleed extension. I drilled a hole on the side of the area behind the spare. A stop****(that's what I call it, but it may be called something else) is bolted into that hole. A hose leads to the high point of the front cooling setup. After the system is filled, any trapped air should find its way to this high point, then I can just reach in end undo the stop**** and let the trapped air out. That's my theory at least! Pics to come.

VolksWagen dealers in North America sell a Bosch LSU4 wide band sensor for a ~$30. However this sensor is only inexpensive when purchased from North American sources. The Bosch part number is 0 258 007 057 or 0 258 007 058 (these are the same sensor, but they have leads of different length), and it can be purchased as a VW part number 021-906-262-B.

I've been watching one of those street tuner shows that featured a new Jetta. They had a ECU team come in to do a piggyback system. Name of the company was 034EFI .
This is probably not much help if you already have a system on the way... but for future reference.

Jeff, I only do worthless posts, or didn't you figure that out yet? I'll get them on here next week, hold your horses!

Hey Bean, thank you for your post. Unfortuneatly I've read it again and again, but I don't quite understand what's being said. I know you pasted from MegaSquirt. Is it saying that in other countries that those O2 sensors are really expensive then?

And what about MegaSquirt, is that something I might be interested in? What would it do for me?

Sorry, I have been travelling all day and my mind no worky to good, but I just can't quite figure out what's going on.
