How To - 2.1TD Swap / XUD11 Fitting
#78
Its unlikely you'll be able to fit your alternator. Which starter you use depends on which gearbox your using.

I'll go and do you a wiring diagram for the wiring as I want to see your project work.

To find an ignition live get a multi meter, turn the knob into the volts area usually has a V sign on it and a set of choices like 0.02, 0.2, 2, 20, 200, 2000 pick the one that says 20. Make sure the battery is connected, turn the ignition on and jam the black multimeter lead into the negative battery terminal. Prod round various plugs and wires with the red probe to find some live wires (the screen will read just over 12v) then turn the ignition off and probe the wires again. any That were live and no longer are will be ignition lives, pick a nice thick one.





Right this is uber basic but the pointers are in the right place.

Main battery wire - Make it a monster thick bastard straight from the battery to the big terminal on the starter and then to the big terminal on the alternator.
Starter wire - this is the wire that spins the starter motor when you turn the key to the final position and is a momentary switch. Run it to the small ring terminal on the starter motor.
Stop solenoid wire - this doesn't need to be thick but it does need to give a GOOD solid 12 volts. You turn it on to start the car, keep it on to keep the car running and then turn it off to stop the engine. You run it to the terminal that has an 8mm nut thats on the stop solenoid.
Glow plug wire - You will NEED glow plugs running to start the 2.1TD. You can run it off a relay and a switch but they draw a HUGE current, they will melt any wire you'd normally use to wire stuff in. Use thick cable, genuinely the best system I've seen if Poodles 205 that runs battery cable and a FIA battery cut off style switch.

Everything earths through the engine back to the battery.
