M52 2.8 loom with no EWS????

[DanThe]

I have a 328i auto loom which has no EWS module plug, whats the crack with this?
I thought all M52 2.8's had EWS as standard?

Are we talking engine loom, or under dash loom ?

As far as I'm aware, all 328's had EWS, but the connections are on the under dash loom, not the engine loom. It's just a single wire that runs through the X20 connector for the EWS signal to the ECU.

Ahh, I must be confusing myself with the S50 loom

Dont suppose you know how to produce a similar signal for the ECU do you Ian

S50 is the same. No EWS wiring on the engine loom (apart from the wire mentioned before).

PM me an email address, and I'll send you a circuit diagram showing the minimum requirement to get the EWS up and running. I assume you have the matching ECU, EWS module and key ?

got mine working today wiring is fairly straightforward i was lucky in the fact we have an autologic diagnostic unit so i coluld see the ews had sent its release signal to the dme control unit but if you do not have this luxury the ews has a relay inside that will click when it has released

The S50 loom I modified had the EWS module plug on it Ian, I thought this was the case with all EWS looms?

Nope, never seen that on an S50 loom either. Assuming this was a 3.0L S50 loom, are you sure it wasn't the VNC controller plug. That looks very similar to an EWS plug.

Damn-it

Of course, it was the Vanos control!

My head is a serious shed today, must be the 1 hour less thing
