can you fit a trip computer in a 1998 1.9 td estate ?

i dont know if this helps or you already knew but after a bit of research i have found that my car is a semi electronic xudd9btf engine so maybe thats why its got the 16 pin not sure i started with no knowledge of cars whats so ever and already i cant wait to get my hands on the haynes manual and start learning. made much easier by you guys of course and very appreciated

I don't know much about the XUD9 engine but from what Doggy says it does have a lot more electronics than I thought. The 2.1TD (XUD11) is slightly more advanced in that respect due to the fully electronic injection system.

It is definitely addictive doing things like this! Good luck, let us know how you get on.

Has anyone had a 1.9 on PP2000? If it's capable of showing live fuelling information then the data must be available at the 30-pin diag port, though I don't think the K-line protocol in use on these cars has ever been documented (at least I can't find it).

I have.

...but I can't remember what it displays.

I was genuinely surprised how sophisticated it is, as it does show injection timing, (requested and actual), which I think it deduces from the crank and needle lift sensors, but I don't think it 'knows' exact injection volumes, (can't see how it could)?

Unfortunately my 'tame' 1.9TD is off wild boar hunting in the Midi Pyranees at the mo.....

Having looked at the ecu on my 1.9, it's quite big, so I guess there must be quite a lot going on!

[jayb8660]

with out sounding like a muppet lol but do you just pull the plastic away under the steering wheel or do you have to undo screws ect. to get to the wires in the car

[Bailes1992]

Think you would be better off looking at the cabled to the ecu and seeing if the wire you need is there. I forget what number it is.

[Doggy]

wire 1368

(MCCCLXVIII), some time ago

[Bailes1992]

After all the 1.9TD ECU knows the Timing, throttle position and the engine speed so there is no reason why it cannot know the injection rate.

So it turns out my 2.1 does have the standard 16-pin OBD connector:



PP2000 connected:

[Doggy]

Not so surprising - my bro's 98 1.9TD has one too, (despite me paying extra for a PP clone with the 30-way adapter).

[jayb8660]

haha that just typical im going to attempt to pull the bottom of the steering wheel away and have a look to see if i have that wire sometime this week.

Don't know how you are doing for bits, but I have a trip mfd and a trip wiper stalk for sale

Sorted! how much cash you looking for it ?
Will all depend on if I can find that wire

[plod]

I'd like £35

I'll also include the secondary plug that you'll need and some extra wiring to assist in fitting i.e I fitted an earth lead into it and it has a ring connector on the end ready to ground underneath the centre console and a wire connected ready to go to wire 1368
