i would imagine that it would be very similar to a mk1 golf, so long as you're not trying to put a carb loom on an injection car or vice versa

as above.
Mk2 Scirocco looms are similar to MK1's except for fuse box connection plugs.
There are companys who make looms to order

I know the mk1 golf up to 81 use the same loom as the dash and switches are the same aswell as.
I had a peek at the one in the manspace shed other day, while knicking some bulliet fuse's :hugegrin:

They differ mainly in the lighting areas

Im using a 79 Mk1 Golf engine loom in my 79 Scirocco but didn't use the Mk1 Golf lighting loom because of the twin headlights and indicators the scirocco has over the Golfs single headlights and indicators in the bumper.

Do you need a full loom?.. Ive got most of 79 GLi loom bar the engine bay lighting loom.

You will have to ring them and unless they have already made a Scirocco loom, they will probably ask for an old one to use as a template. I seem to remember making a general enquiry a number of years ago, but didn't take things any further.

Do you need one for a carb or injected engine? Exactly which model do you have? I have a number of VW wiring diagrams, and I'll see if I have one for your car.
