Ive always wanted a trip computer on a car and none of the cars ive owned have had one, when i got the fiesta i had a bit of a search to see if those were ever added to any of the mk4 fiesta range and from what i found the answer looks like NO. so i had a search on ebay and found this Find ScanGauge II OBD 2 Scanner Tool Trip Digital xgauge on eBay within, Diagnostic Tools Equipment, Garage Equipment Tools, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 15-Nov-07 21:15:02 GMT)
i emailed the seller and asked if this would work on my 98 s reg fiesta MK4 with a EEC V ECU and he replied saying no this wont work with my car, so done more searching on the net and i was 99% sure it would work on my car so i brought one.
The thing turned up the other day in the post and it works fine!
Ive only tested driving the car around the block a few times cos the fiesta has been parked miles away due to me taking another car home cos i have been working away the past few days.
It does seam to have loads of gauges on it tho not just fuel related stuff some of the once i liked were digital speedo, rev counter, volt meter and coolant temp i think could be useful. Also can view error codes from your ECU.
So if your like me and like gizmo's to play with in the car or just want a trip computer and you got a mk4 fiesta and it must have a EEC V ECU this is on the sticker thats on the connector of the ECU im sure i read on the net some where that all zetec engine fiestas have EEC V ECU but do check.
If your ECU is a EEC IV it will NOT work.
if i can find a place to fit the thing in the dash over the weekend i will take a few pics or may be some video of the thing in action
