MFA Dont work!!

Recommended Posts

only had my 1.8 16v for a few weeks, it was really cheap so bought it with a few niggles, the mfa computer lights up but nothing comes on, looks like the MFA Screen is cracked or has been pushed in, i dont think its clocked because its done 123k no one would bother clocking it to that!!! are the MFA Repairable???

Don't be too sure about it not being clocked... My J plate G60 had 97K on the clock when I bought her and it turns out that it should have read more like 207k! :shock: If yours is a 1.8 16V it'll be at least the same age as mine if not older.... I'm not saying that it is clocked, but just that 'cos it's reasonably high-ish milage, don't think it couldn't have been higher... :?

 

If the screen is cracked, it's probably worth getting hold of a second hand set of clocks... The LCD will almost certainly cost you more than a full set of clocks :roll: There's probably someone breaking a 16V in the sales section here, if not, one'll crop up soon... :)

 

If I remember correctly from when I had my 16V, the 1.8 16V has a mechanical mileometer so you should be able to swap the original speedo into the second hand clocks so that you keep the original milage. 8)

 

Oh, and welcome to the forum! 8)

if i got a second hand set of clocks and installed them would the mfa then work or does it need setting up??

 

It should just plug in and work... 8) The only thing is that you need to make sure that you get the correct clocks for your car as there are several differences (7K redline for 16V, not 6K... VR6 rev counter uses 6 pulses per rev, not 4... older milometers were mechanical not LCD etc)

 

Good luck! 8)
