Theres some great info in there Mik!

Thanks for sharing.

I've never really had much to do with Digifant except for my mums mk2, but its all pretty straight forward & ultra reliable too. Only if you leave it all along & don't mess with it.

But I've had a fair bit of stuff to do with L-Jetronic when working for BMW. Never really though of the two as the same, even though I did notice they all nearly share the same components

There is always more to learn, and if you disagree with that statement you can't be taught I have found.

I have just ordered a 16V Corrado ECU to replace the 8V one that is on the car with 16V gear on it - so I'm hoping to have better performance from that with a higher rev limiter!

I kind of like the 5 series intake mod, well I might consider it down the track May get it on a dyno first to work out how things are as they stand.

Without taking this off topic too far, it is a 1.8 KR with 16V - 8V digifant ECU (easiest description is that it is Matt's former green MK1 with MKII GTI 16V conversion). The 16V Digifant II ECU is what I just bought.

DIGI dudes - so I have taken the coolant temp sensor out today and it is Blue and has 4 pins. All the talk on the web with MK2 looms is that it is a 2 pin sensor.

I have a black sensor with 4 pins, I am wondering if that will be any use or do I need to buy another blue 4 pin one (but it seems these are for MK3/VR6, not MK2)...

Any suggestions?
