hello everyone,
I traded in my fairly nimble A4 for an Audi 80 cabrio icon_biggrin.gif Ahhu, and now I want to increase the rather meager 90 horsepower. Unfortunately, I discovered that the connector for the fuel injection pump is round and has 7 pins icon_confused.gif.
I've already tried using the search function, but I couldn't find anything relevant.
Okay, so my question is: Is it possible to adjust the settings by 10 cents, or are there any power boxes available for this connector?

Thank you in advance.

Circleround??
That was the characteristic feature of the first TDIs with potentiometer-based rotary variable geometry (RWG), if I recall correctly icon_question.gif.

However, even a 1998 TDI should have an HDK rotary vane pump, so 10c should be possible – if you can find the right cables.

Well, I think he's referring to an 8-pin connector where only 7 pins are actually used.

It should look like this (warning: 450 kb).

Such a picture is also included in the technical article.

I find it hard to believe that an AHU would have a round, screw-on connector for the potentiometer-controlled circulating pump.

The AHU arrived in early 1996, and the Poti pump was discontinued around 1994.

Perhaps the previous owner modified something.

How do you know that it is an AHU?

Can you provide photos?

It's a completely original AHU engine. The connector is round and has 7 pins, unlike the one shown in the picture. The pictured engine is a 94, but the B4 engine was modified, and the AHU was produced in the Cabriolet until 1999.

Okay, 10 cents is fine. I even have a matching plug here.

Please send me a private message if it turns out to be THAT plug.
