Throttle actuator pinout

Post by Corrado613 »

Hello, i am coming here from the s2 forum with a specific question. I am swapping a d2 s8 engine into a 91 coupe quattro. I have what i BELIEVE is the correct throttle actuator. However the wiring diagrams i downloaded from erwin do not seem to correlate. Does anyone here have the pinouts for this actuator?

Thanks

Welcome :)

The facelift engine wiring diagram is here: https://d2doctor.co.uk/files/2000_A8_S8_engine.pdf

The pedal sensor is on P7.

Mikkijayne, that's a name i haven't read in about 15 years lol... (corrados and the s2/coupes?)

That diagram is the same as i have, and it doesn't match the wire colours on the actuator.

That is unless what you're saying is the pins referenced in the diagram are those of the connector and i am to ignore the wires between the body and connector?

Mmm sadly I haven't had a Corrado in probably about that long. My red 16V just rotted away and was beyond saving a second time :(

I believe the pins on the diagram are the pins on the connector, since it doesn't show any intermediate connections until T10 which is way over in the ECU box. But, I have a couple of body harnesses so I can check the colours on the car side at the weekend and make sure they correlate.

Yeah I'm with you on not missing it. It was fab to look at, but working on it every weekend got very old, very fast. I miss my mk2 a lot more - that was as much fun, and just worked,
