Water damage

Post by qlingon »

Hello, fine gentlemen.
The patient is a '98 B5 1.9 TDI, quite bad condition.

After heavy rain, water came in heavily through the seal underneath the cabin filter and underneath the ECU box.
I removed the cabin filter and seal, but I can't remove the ECU box because of two wires coming out of itx, connecting to a 50 and an 80 amp fuse in 8A0937530 connectors. I'd rather not cut those heavy duty wires, but I don't know where to disconnect them from.

here's a pic:

The second problem is that the vacuum hose coming from the ECU is not connected to anything, might have snapped of old age. In any case, I don't know where it's supposed to go.

Appreciate any help.
