mrbeige 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Why do you need a converter box? Is the tach signal on CAN? If not can you not just pick up the tach signal from the ECU? What engine code is you 1.8T? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DANG60 0 Posted August 16, 2010 cant you find out what it is and get something similar from maplins? Surely its just a signal converter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrbeige 0 Posted August 17, 2010 ECU should have an 80 pin connector. Engine speed is off Pin 6. Wire should be a 0.5mm green/brown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know what the Jabbasport adapter is, but I know that MSD make an adapter, that could be an alternative. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
