Transducer

[DUNOVA.]

Had a digi dash fitted today only problem is the transducer is'nt working is there anyway at al to repair it ?Cheers

stu

[LiD0N]

are u sure its wired up right?

[DUNOVA.]

Im not sure I did'nt wire it up :o

The blue/red wire from transducer is going into the back of the dash
The black wire and the brown wire is connected to the battery :D

Is This rite?????

[XZiBiT]

corse its right stu i wired it up

[2litreturbo]

corse its right stu i wired it up

Is that meant to reassure him? :lol:

[mc_hawkings]

Well it could be that the tranducer terminals inside have rusted off, & stopping it from working.

[2litreturbo]

the unit is sealed. I cant see how it would rust.

[DUNOVA.]

I have taken the plug with the three wire's from the bit that screws into the there three little prong things there rust and damp ? could this be the problem :D If it is what can I do know where will sell me one without the dash so it's pretty pointless having the dash :cry:

[2litreturbo]

someone was saying a while ago about using one from an spi nova. Anyone heard of this?

[geordie_racer]

on the 8v dash u can use a 1.2spi nova transducer but the letters for them are AA if i remember rightly could give it a go tho as there cheap from a scrappy

chris

[DUNOVA.]

I have the dash with the blip is that the 8v
My transducer has the code (AH)

[geordie_racer]

both the blip and curve dashes where found in both 16 and 8v gte's so you can't just say like that. du not no anybody with a 1.2i nova? if so just borrow there transducer the car will run without it fine. just check for 1.2i and 1.4i nova's in the scrap yard and keep an eye on the codes as they seem to change on sum nova's aswell

chris

[DUNOVA.]

If I do get hold of one from a spin will it show up the correct speed?

[geordie_racer]

if it has the same letters as your current transducer then it will yes, also dont forget theres a red switch on the dash which also affects the speedo reading.

chris

[mc_hawkings]

I took My previous tranny apart which had rusted & did not work.
Can you not just nick one from a scrappie + its a shame its an 8v tranny as i have a 16v tranny here.

[2litreturbo]

Can you not just nick one from a scrappie

Thats illegal

[XZiBiT]

stu ive got a k reg 1.2i on me garden but im sure its just a speedo cable like the one on gsi,gte,sr's :x

[mc_hawkings]

C'mon everyone takes from scrappies, i had to pay for a multiplug yesterday sniff i bottled it seeing as i was the only one in there

Yep it is a cable

[cooper_nova]

stu try this link to the site below they make transducers, not sure on price tho m8 :)

http://www.the-net-effect.com/sailes/hunter/index.html

THEY WILL MAKE A TRANSDUCER FOR PRETTY MUCH ANY CAR!!
hope it helps ya

[geordie_racer]

the 1.2i does have a transducer it sits between the cable and the gearbox and the wiring connects into a piggyback device behing the inlet manifold i know this because i used to own one mine was knackered giving random ecu fault codes. the last working one i had i sent to somebody off here but can't remember who

chris

[badnova]

so without the tranducer the digi dash is fucked

[cooper_nova]

not nessacerraly fecked but not worth alot

[badnova]

what does it do
it makes the speed rite or something dont it

[cooper_nova]

not to sure on wot it does m8 soz

[badnova]

thinkning of puteing one in my nova
don know where to get one
must have one with tranducer though

[cooper_nova]

look on ebay m8 under parts by brand (sub section vauxhall/opel)

[badnova]

ill have a look
what do you think is a good price for 1

[cooper_nova]

as cheap as u can get it but don;t go over ?50 if poss, but depends on how much u want one tho i suppose but as a guide ?50 is about top of the average price bracket

[badnova]

im having a look now cheers

[badnova]

there well expensive 67 quid

[cooper_nova]

try ur local scrappie or free ad paper, or try www.adtrader.co.uk

[badnova]

ill have a look tomoz and see what i can find

[DUNOVA.]

^^^^^You can pick them up for about 30quid + mate


WOOOOO HOOOOO me an bobby got mine working :D :D :D :D
It was the cable bit that connects into the actual transducer

Well done bobby :wink:

[badnova]

where can u get them for 30quid

[cooper_nova]

well done stu good on ya and well done bobby :)

[badnova]

o sorry
yeah well done
u where quite worried about it wasnt you

[DUNOVA.]

where can u get them for 30quid


Just look about on sites like e-bay on here roy bacer other vaux site im not saying you will get one for 30quid between 30 and 50 quid

[badnova]

so its just like hunting down good prices

[DUNOVA.]

Yep.
I was lucky my mate had one that he was selling I got mine for 30+fitting :D

[geordie_racer]

Right i have looked at epc as i said i would and have found the following,

For the broken transducer you hav AH you can use the transducer from nova marked AA as they are both six pulse transducer. The nova transducer can befound on the following engines according to epc,

C12NZ(1.2i nova)
C14SE(1.4 sri)
C14NZ(1.4i nova)
C16SE(gte or gsi nova?)

Those details are correct according to epc which as most no is the official vaux parts catalogue so should not be wrong, so you should be able to get a 1.2i nova transducer for ?5 max just check it's an aa.

Also as a point of interest you can get a 15 pulse transducer from a nova with a 13N engine(don't think these were released in the uk) which should work with the 16v dash.

GTE's, are you sure?
:?

[geordie_racer]

i was a bit puzzled aswell when it said gte and for the life of me i cant remember back to the last gte engine i saw. Anyway it makes sense because the transducer measures the distance the car travels and converts it to pulses which the dash uses to display speed.

Anyway point was a 1.2i transducer should work fine on your dash and there easily available so go get one!

chris

[2litreturbo]

the transducers in novas weren't for displaying speed. The transducers in novas were duel function. The had a cable and a transducer. the cable drove the speedo like any other nova. The transducer just fed information to the ecu for the engine.

[geordie_racer]

you can use a nova transducer ive done it before and yes i know it has a slightly different function on the nova but it works fine with the digi dash

chris

[2litreturbo]

thats not what i was saying. You siad it makes sense you can use a nova one because in the nova it generates pulses and sends them to the dash to disply the speed. It doesn't. It send the pulses to the ecu only. It has a cable that goes from the gearbox to the dash that rotates to display the speed.

[geordie_racer]

very true purple and i apologise if ive confused anybody with my poorly worded advice

chris

[2litreturbo]

np :)

[2litreturbo]

:arrow: what the hell does that one mean?

[Aragorn]

its also not a good idea to connect it to the battery directly

use an ignition live instead

the purpose of the sender in the nova is to tell the ecu how fast your going so it can adjust fuelling n stuff

and also the C16SE was a late GSI engine - the GTE and early gsis had the e16se which does not have that sender
