Hi everyone,
I have myself a VW T6.1 DSG 4 Motion which I bought as an Accident repair vehicle.
I've had all the repairs done and the van looks amazing.....Pictures attached.
I would like to get in touch with the previous owner but the logbook was unfortunately destroyed.
All I know is that the previous owner was "Simon" on the radio app thingy.
I have a few faults on the dash that need clearing, and thanks to Member "Pauly" for the insight on using my VCDS HEX CAN, I'm going to have a go at removing them.
When I did the initial auto scan using VCDS, I got a message saying that I need to upgrade my VCDS Interface to the V2 to be able to use the functionality of VCDS.
This Interface will be up for sale as I was informed by Pauly that it's an unlimited VIN interface.
I will then be buying the HEX V2 for both my vehicles.
So now, hers my question!
The vehicle has a Factory 2nd battery under the passenger seat that was disconnected........I have attached pictures and highlighted the two cables that I found disconnected, but I'm puzzled as to how they should be connected. the battery + terminal has a cover which won't close if I connect the wire marked 2 and cable marked 1 just seems to be a loop.
I found the two 10mm nuts lying beside the battery so tried to connect them....... but as you can see, they dont seem to make any sense.
I'm guessing there was only connection to the terminal that I've marked 1 and no connection to the terminal marked 2
wire 1 was probably connected to some other device and left connected to the terminal at one end and removed from the external device.
the Van does have a detachable tow bar so I presume the 2nd battery has something to do with it.
There is also a small plug that has a wire previously soldered to it, but I cant find where this plug fits or what it's for.
I'm hoping someone can shed some light.
I also noticed the part number on the wiring harness on the second picture and a google search came back with "vw transporter t6.1 heater wiring harness 7la971478n additional heater wiring harness"
I haven't seen an additional heater on the van anywhere.
