Hellboy80 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi all, Looking at getting a Mark 2 this evening. Some questions if thats ok. 1. Does the climate have a 12v socket in the rear? (Where the back seats are) 2. Can I swap the rear lights to the mark 2.5 lights? 3. Do they have the fuel computers in them? 4. How easy is it to wire in a sub? (Are the grommets in the engine bay obvious) Sure I will have more but thanks for any help given Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpionSX Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hey, welcome here! 1. No, only in front. Wagon may have one in the trunk (not sure if not only mk2.5) 2. Yes, but some wiring adjustment is required 3. If you get one with board computer, yes (you can identify it by looking at side markers lever, if there is control wheel - it has board computer) 4. Don't know...never done this... Hope this helps ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one proviso I know of: If it is 2008 or early 2009 date, then ask questions about the injectors. There was a bad batch, affected all 1.8TDCIs, but only in that narrow date range. My 1.8TDCI has done 155k miles, I am pretty sure it is all original engine bits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets quite a lot of heavy, dirty work, transporting tools, equipment , wood etc. Bit of a workhorse! But it combines plenty of power when needed, with quite good fuel economy, and serves me well. The wiring diagram is available on this site, and I may be able to advise on wiring mods. Also if Instrument Cluster problems or EGR problems come up, I or others here can help.

Hellboy80 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thank you very much. Need to find a guide to fitting a after market radio and a sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellboy80 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 I have a standard light in mine. I believe but not 100% this houses the alarm sensors. Can I swap this with the map light? What will happen with the sensor. If this is possible could anyone help me out with a eBay link to the right product. Don't want to buy the wrong one.

On the wiring diagram, it shows the dome light with the IS (alarm) sensor also had the map lights. There should be a separate 4 pin connector for the IS sensor. The connections for the light are just a two pin connector and an earth wire spade connector. So first check what connections you car has. I have had a quickish look, but could not find if anyone supplied the map light version with the IS sensor, but I would guess it is standard with the map lights? PS: I am assuming this for the Mk2 1.8TDCI. Your profile could do with an update. A lot of members use that when answering! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
