Awesome explanation. I am a diesel truck mecanic and frequent use standard american style diagrams. I bought a Volkswagen and got the service info with wire diagrams. Definitely not like i have ever seen, after watching these 2 videos its clear now. It seems like these are much less crowded pages but much more page flipping to find what you want. This may be a big advantage when using a small phone screen. It will definitely take me awhile to get use to this.
Thank you so much for these videos. I've got a 2002 VW GTI that doesn't crank so I'm learning how to trouble shoot the electrical system. I have the schematics but didn't understand how they work. Now I know.
Can you tell me in the last example did that fix his flux capacitor problem,i have a similar problem with my DeLorean ? and thank you for the video , those wiring schematics on vag cars now look so different, cheers.
These diagrams are a bit odd at first, but quite logical. I actually prefer them over "tradition" wiring diagrams. Of course you had it easy with everything in English. When doing European specific mods on my 87 Audi 4000 quattro, I had to translate from the German diagrams! One thing that is missing, but not super critical are the random wires you will see running between two points on the bottom ground track These are chassis ground wires. (ex: the grounding strap from the engine block to the body)
On page 14 of the video there are 6 wires colorless which is 31/a/c + continuation of b going over fuses and continuation of 501 to relay J458 + the thick one going through the entire side. My question: isn't it easier to put color designation on them to facilitate perception?
The thin lines are not actual wires. They represent internal electrical paths within some device, like a relay panel. These are going to be pieces of metal stamped out and bent. Another example of this is with older tail light bulb holders: i.imgur.com/Wp6hVVH.png The wiring diagram for a 2003 Jetta tail light will show the thicker lines (wires with color and size info) connected to thin lines that the bulbs are connected to. Those thin lines are all of the strips or tracks of metal in the bulb holder.
@@RossTechVCDS Thanks for the reply. and what happens to the remaining 31/a/c and the thick ones that go through the whole page? Thanks again in advance for the reply
Great video, but I still don't know one thing. I have a motronic control unit J220 which has to plugs and ELSA schematic which doesn't tell me which plugs terminal I'm looking at. Moreover there are terminals which misterious description as 1/31, 62/30 or 28/DF. What does it mean?
Could you explain the oddities that seem to be the headlight switch connections? For example pin 1 of my 03 Audi A4 is labeled in Bentley as "1/XZ" and pin 3 is labeled as "3/TFL".
S144 - Fuse -1- (30) in fuse bracket/battery The (30) is referring to Terminal 30, an electrical location that always has direct connection back to the positive battery post. So in that context, those fused powered directly from the battery and one should expect them to always be "hot".
Confusion is what it is. So normally, an "S" would refer to a fuse. But for ??reasons?? the terminal connections for the wiring harness on the back of something like a relay panel as shown in the examples are noted as "S". Thus S1/3 would imply connector 1, position 3. And on track 39, connector 1 again, but position 4.
This two part series was more awesome than all 6 years of my physics classes in school

Very informative and entertaining. Muffler bearing, blinker fluid, won't time travel at 88 mph, flux capacitor.. Love it!

Thank you very much , for the first time i can see the wiring diagram clearly.

Thank you I learned something new, with this type of electrical diagrams.
Clear, concise and understandable......'top marks'. Thankyou.
Thank you for these videos!

A 50A fuse for some blinker fluid heating god damn that’s a heater of all heaters bro
Great series. I learned many things too!
thank you very much , we love ross-tech
I need to check my blinker fluid cruise control module on my Auto Union roadster
Hahaha nice bit about the flux capacitor!! thank you

Great video tutorial ❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge 🇵🇭❤️
Thanks, I learned a lot.
Blinker fluid heater control module...
Awesome videos!! Thank you so much!
this video is Chris Fix approved. blinker fluid and muffler bearings
😂 07:20 blinker fluid module, 09:00 muffler bearing module
I cracked when I saw the 25mm diameter wire...

What does the (30) in lines such as "S144 Fuse -1 (30) in fuse bracket/battery" mean?
S144 - Fuse -1- (30) in fuse bracket/battery
The (30) is referring to Terminal 30, an electrical location that always has direct connection back to the positive battery post. So in that context, those fused powered directly from the battery and one should expect them to always be "hot".
I missed the description of the connection points like pg 14 track 25 (S1/3) and pg 15 trk 39 (S1/4) , what is S1?
Confusion is what it is. So normally, an "S" would refer to a fuse. But for ??reasons?? the terminal connections for the wiring harness on the back of something like a relay panel as shown in the examples are noted as "S".

Very much useful brother, Thanx💐
Electric Boogaloo, LOL. Thanks, I learned I few things.
@0:27 is the weld point on tracks number 1 and 2 actually 3 wires joined together? Thank you
As show, weld point 199 has at least 4 wires shown there, but that thin line that extends out to the left implies there are more, but not shown here.
Thank you for clarification.
thank you very much sir
Thank you for the info...
That fuckin flux capacitor again! That things needs some re-engineering it’s still holding peoples time travel up in 2022!
I'm an automotive engineer and my dream is to work at Ross-Tech's. I'm working hard before being ready to send my application.
Blinker fluid heater, classic! 🤪
