I have just replaced my ph2 '98 door with a ph2 '97 door however the pins for the window switch are different. My old door had a loom with 7 pins and my new loom only has four. So my window switch/mirror adjuster doesn't work. I need to fix my the loom between the car and the door to hopefully sort the failed central locking but am I gonna be surprised with more electrical differences? Also is it as simple as getting a 4 pin window switch to resolve the issue? I swapped the door to save money on body shop dent repairs but am I better off biting the bullet and putting the old door back on?

As above, loom swap is the way forward.

97 to a 98 car loom will be different too i suspect

as one has the security box under the rear seats central locking only unit

98 has the security unit in the lower dash locking/alarm combined

that year is ph2-ph3 wiring changeover

putting the wrong door switch in a ph2 with the relay box in the door will blow a fuse


you will need to fit your original door loom to match your car loom

So I can replace the loom but leave the window motor and door latches on and it should all work? And I thought this would be a simple door off, door back on job...

not read this properly but just check about the auto window switch - i stuck a p3 window switch from a gti6 onto my hdi and it kept blowing fuses because the gti6 had another pin for the auto option

The drivers door and window switch is part of the circuit for the passenger window, so without it all connected the passenger side won't work

Just wanted to say thanks for the help changing the loom worked a treat!
