I will briefly write about all the details of the engine's electrical equipment.
Earlier, I already wrote about the elements of fastening the wiring harness on the engine. Now about fasteners under the hood.
Fixing elements of the wiring harness (part 2 )


Part #1 - protective cap (12 52 1 279 703). Perhaps this is a mistake. I have never come across this detail on an E30 (photo from the Internet).

Judging by the photo from the Internet, it was used on earlier models with Jetronic.

Therefore, the part is not used.
Part #2 - protective cap (12 52 1 284 465) - 1 pc. This part is only used on early E30 models up to 1985, with the rectangular C101 connector which is fixed to the fuse box housing. This cover covers the connector C101. Photo from the Internet.


Since my wiring is later, the part is not used.
Part No. 3 - cover (12 52 1 286 052) - 1 pc. This is a red cover for the diagnostic connector on cars before 1985. Similarly with detail #2, not used.
Part No. 4 - protective cap (12 52 1 279 603) - 1 pc. Motor wiring relay cover.
Part No. 5 - bracket ( 12 52 1 279 602) - 1 pc. Bracket for mounting the motor wiring relay.
Part No. 6 - rubber sleeve (61 31 1 369 343) - 1 pc. This is a rubber sleeve in the washer fluid tank, into which the fluid level sensor is inserted. Why it is in this section, I do not understand.

Part #7 - connector holder C101 (12 52 1 710 729) - 1 pc. In ETK, for some reason, it is written that this is a diagnostic connector holder - this is a mistake.
It is screwed to the shield.

Fixes connector C101.

Wiring Plug Connection

I already wrote about these connectors in the section on motor wiring.
Part #1...5 - connector C101 assembly. I connect the motor wiring with the main wiring. Fixed in a special bracket on the left of the motor shield.

Part No. 6...9 - diagnostic connector assembly. Fixed in a special bracket on the intake manifold.


Another ETK section on motor wiring connectors.
Wiring plug connection

I already wrote about these connectors in the section on motor wiring. I have them all in good condition, so I did not disassemble them, and I did not replace anything in them. That is why there is nothing to write about.
ETK section on wiring fastening.
Wiring holder

There are a lot of different clips and clamps, and I can't imagine where they can all be used at the same time. Therefore, I also do not see the point of writing about it in detail here. I have already written about these details in the sections on different wiring harnesses. In the motor wiring, I used only a few of them - #1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 25, 27.
Engine relay


There are also a lot of relays, but in fact only two types of relays are used in motor wiring.
Part No. 1 (No. 2) - relay (61 31 1 373 588) - 2 pcs. Fuel pump relay and lambda probe heating relay. It's the same 4-pin relay as the relay in the fuse box. Mostly orange. It can be yellow, brown, or blue. I wrote about it in the section on the fuse block.
Part No. 10 - relay (61 36 1 729 004) - 1 pc. Main relay. Specific 5-pin relay. White color.

All other relays are not used in my case.
Another ETK section on the fuel pump relay.
Fuel pump relay

Again some inaccuracy of ETK. For my motor wiring, the fuel pump relay is in the previous section. And all these relays are probably for earlier Jetronic models.
So, in my case, these relays are not used.
The relays are fixed on a plastic bracket that snaps onto the body bracket.


1 - lambda probe heating relay.
2 - fuel pump relay.
3 - the main relay.
Relays are closed with a plastic cover


So, that's it for the details of the engine's electrical equipment.
Now I will write about connecting the hoses to the engine. I already wrote about them in the relevant sections, so here we simply screw them to the installed engine.
Right engine cushion with heat shield. We screw the tubes of the oil cooler to the flanges of the oil filter adapter. Of course with new rubber rings.

Left engine cushion. Before installing the engine, I bolted the power steering hoses to the steering rack. I will write about them separately.

We fasten the interior heater hoses - the lower one for supply, the upper one for return.

I will write about fuel hoses later.
Next, about the starter and the ignition coil.
