1.6 GTI Diagnostic

[Xpbernardo 0]

Do you know if the 1.6 GTI has an engine light on the dashboard? The engine light on my 1.6 CTI does not come on when I start the engine, but the bulb is present on the circuit board in the rear of the dashboard.
Is it possible to diagnose using the number of flashes of the engine light, like the 1.9 GTI? Without the EML lighting up on ignition seams quite impossible....

No, jetronic is a very basic system,  only the motronic  equipped1.9 will have the EML.

SO.. no diagnostic without correct tool, and very limited codes available...

No.   

 

 

Zero codes, there is no processor inside you can connect to.

 

The only diagnostic tool that you can use is a breakout box which plugs in between engine ecu and the loom, very few of these exist any more.

 

 

However there are many checks you can do with a DVM/multimeter, which are detailed in the Haynes workshop manual.
