____________________________________________________________

We're in the process of doing a 2001 golf/jetta engine
conversion using an engine kit from South Africa. As there
is no O2 sensor wiring in the kit you have to supply the
wiring from the old harness. We know which pin to use for
the signal wire (#38) but there is no pin specified for the
shield (ground) connection. Anybody out there, especially
from South Africa, that might be able to provide a pinout
list or at least the pin number for the shield? Could we
just use a chassis ground near the ECU? I'd rather go
inside the plug, but I'm somewhat open to "do what works".
Thanks in advance, John
