[bigryrs 0]

hey folks im using my 1.9 gti gearbox with my gti6 engine and im wondering if i have to have some fancy sensor as the gti6 speedo is electrical for the 6 speed and im just using the 1.9 which is mechanical!! will i have problems with this when i go to run the car??

You need a combined speedo drive,it has the outlet for your cable,and the electrical plug/sensor for ECU

 

On E-Bay for just under £40 new.

 

I searched two scrap yards on Monday,looked at circa 40 306's and 106's and not one combined speedo drive to be found

do i have to wire up something seperate to plug into that then? i got a loom made for me by spiky but im unsure if its already part of the loom!!

I was lucky enough to get one of a xsi 306 at the scrap yard.

I'd avoid the Ebay sensor. I bought one and it quite simply does not fit the casing is slightly too bit to fit in the recess

 

This is a quote from the thread I last yeared regarding the 306 VSS

 

Citroen zx 16v, some base model 306s, i think phase1 rallyes aswell bt i stand to be corrected on that 1.. Theres plenty out there if your willing to go get dirty for 30mins at a scrapyard!!

As above,I loked over circa 40 different cars in two scrap yards and could not find one

If you'd checked the For Sale section yesterday, I was selling one - sold already though I'm afraid.

 

For what it's worth though, the GTi-6 engine will work without it - it just behaves a little oddly at low revs/load and when coming back down to idle - so you could get the car on the road and change it later when you manage to lay your hands on one.

the 306 s16 has them too, yeah, as said above, you get a bit of a flat spot when pulling off too
