I have a copy of the wiring diagrams -- its easier to follow wiring schematics ( block diagram layout) do VW have such an animal and any idea of where I may locate them thanks this is such a helpful site.

I hate those style of schematics.

Also, it’s 7P.

The official diagrams are based on the German standard and they have SSPs on how to read them.
If you want the "simple" style stuff, you need to look at other sources like Mitchell or AllData, etc. (& many others)..... the OEM ones tell you a lot more than the others.
These other providers may or may not have correct diagrams that cover your exact model and its equipment.

I have worked on German printing presses and they may have only one relay on an A4 sheet with a reference to another drawing in a separate folder. You need patience and a retentive mind to join the dots. Not unlike the Touareg drawings.

@meggsy
Have you read the SSP and watched the videos you've been directed to several times by me (and others) already?
I can't imagine you're struggling this much after doing so.
@SaVAGeSoot Thanks, yes I have .. I am not having difficulty I just find it an unnecessarily convoluted process for fault finding -- I guess with over 60 years of working with both schematics and detailed drawings (unfortunately all in black and white - not coloured like VW). I guess for fault finding etc I have always found the schematics quicker and easier to use when analysing a circuit. I have not been able to find the videos referred to buy the SSP was a good start. -- But I would like to see it explained in a video.

Oh. 83 page PDF.
I think the DIN Standard 72 552 says it all :)
The point is the small footprint diagrams are not helpful in reviewing the overall interconnection of the the vehicles components. I think meggsy is on to something and should be made the honorary converter of DIN Standard 72 552 into a readable useful schematic. Take your time. I hope it is accurate.

@FORTY Thanks for the support -- Unfortunately there are numerous National and Internationally accepted Standards for technical drawings The basic "Standard" from memory was DIN 6 which was first published in the early 1920's and replaced in the early 1980's by ISO 128 which is made up of several sub parts which have changed or matured over time. The Australian Standard AS 1100.XXX— was published in 1992 and the British Standard (BS 308 was published in September 1927 ) the latest version is BS 8888 and of course not forgetting the American National Standards. These standards cover everything from mechanical engineering, architecture, civil engineering, aviation and shipbuilding Then there is the US Military MIL-STD-100G and The American Society of Automotive Engineers ASME Y14 -XXXX ' and not to forget NASA.

With that brief history what hope have we mere mortals got --

I may have missed some out but these were drawn from my check list that is around 20 years old..
