Tobias Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hi, I removed the engine for a clutch change and now when replacing it, I am confused about the stop solenoid and oil pressure cables. It felt obvious when I removed them, due to different lengths, but now they are the same... One is white, no stripe and one is red, so I guess changed at some point. it feels as if there should be some clever way of testing them to figure out which is which, apart from removing them at the instrument cluster/ignition key to check continuity, but all I think of will put 12v at earth if it chose wrong. Any ideas? I add a picture just for the enjoyment of the group. Is is the white 1991 200tdi on the trailer that I am working on. Thanks Tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSD Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Not sure it qualifies as clever, but pick one and connect it temporarily to the FIP solenoid? With ignition on you'll either operate the solenoid or put the oil pressure lamp on. No risk of damage that way that I can see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Oil pressure switch wire course are White with a brown stripe Fuel shutoff solenoid should be White with a black stripe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 It went well, with the advise. Thanks a lot! In the end it was complicated by the fact that the il pressure switch was broken, making the investigation less than intuitive...
