any help? if so thank adam :thumb:
The 3wire one(black/green etc etc) isn't needed in a nova.
The one that not needed Burgo, is that the brown/white i guess?
And the brown/yellow is constantly earthed yes?
What the colour of the ecu ligth wite there?
no the brown and yellow you only earth when you want to flash the fault codes
ok so what i make of this now is
C16XE
Red- battery live
Black- ignition live
Large black- unknown is this a ign live??
Brown/yellow Earth to flash fault codes
Brown/white- not needed
Blue/red not sure on this one
Red/blue fuel pump?
Green- rev counter
Blue/brown- ecu light
And the X16XEL
brown/white not needed
brown/yellow- earth to flash fault codes
red/blue - fuel pump
blue/red unkown also
green- rev counter
blue- cooland temp
brown/blue ecu ight
black/brown Any ideas on this also
the blue/red is for the vss
which is what lol, sorry guys first time doing this conversion have a pop at vehicle speed sensor?
Does the c1x need this plugged in? dont think we used it when i done the conversion into a corsa 1.2
yes it is the vehicle speed sensor. it doesnt need to be connected but you will find yourself stalling alot whilst slowing down
It really DOES need connecting, its not only annoying stalling whenever you press the clutch down, but its also quite dangerous say if your on a motorway, brake sharply and put the clutch down if someones diving in your lane off a sliproad for example, the engine will die...
Not very cool when cars are doing 80/90 behind you...
ok guys thanks, also on the x16xel i know it has the immobiliser, the ecu has the key taped to it at the moment, is this going to be a ok place for it to sit, so it switches off the immobiliser?
I still have this black.brown on the x16 plug that spare
Yeah, taped to the immobiliser pickup ring is fine
Ah now i didnt see that ring you meantion, it just has the key, we were just given bits abobs and asked to fit to the car.
Would any pickup ring work ok?
Nope, has to be the exact one that came on the car.
Its a black plastic box, with a ring around it(where the ignition barrel should fit)
or we have to get a new key, ring and ecu i guess then
the ring can be programmed to the ecu and key ;)
Yeah but no one will do it. Vauxhall/Opel can but they wont cuz they're *******s!!
you have to know the right people dod ;) i have access toa main dealer vauxhall tech2 and permission dongle (sp)
Theres no need to bragg, I dont. :(
did i read someplace that the corsa vss is in the corsa dash clocks and not at the gearbox end?
So im going to have to find a gearbox one if thats the case, oh and what gearbox f13 of f15, any better than the other
Both gearboxes pretty similar, use whatever you can find. Yes most corsas have vss in the clocks, but you will need a nova one that can attach a speedo cable if you want to use std nova speedo/clocks.
Off a nova spi
i have both, so its one or the other.
I will have alook see what i can find regarding the vss, cheers
Any chance of a Pic of it Cheeze?
I take it the origional Corsa item is in the dash?
Sorry Dod, what would you like a pic of?
cheeze the vss on a nova spi is in the box like the transponders for the digi dashes. you simply put it in your box and reconnect your speedo cable. job done
Hi mate, I'm after a pic of the Nova Speed sensor as described in Burgos post. I dont think I have one.
Would a Digi dash item, paired with a Digi Dash fit the bill?
So If I wire in a Digi dash I'm sorted?
no you dont need a digi dash, you just need the transducer?
Kool cheers, i will have to have a hunt for a spi in the local scrappy
