Bare minimum to get a AGU 1.8T to run
« on: 10 October 2011, 19:33 »
Hi

Does anyone know what the BARE minimum you need to get a AGU engine running?  ECU will be de-immobilised.

Plan to put a AGU engine into a clio MK2 172 and getting everything in is straight forward, just need to know what wires effectively are needed to get it to run and have working speedo/rev counter.

Ive thought of:

speedo
ignition sense
rev counter
coolant temp

I ahve a feeling these wires go through the 3 plugs under the wiper motor so shouldnt be too much hassle to get to to put into a clio loom.

Just need some more information really.

why you need bare minimum ??

your going to need quite a few wires as its not an old engine so is a lot more complex and the 1.8t doesnt like running without certain sensors plugged in such as MAF.. Temp sensor.. Depending what engine you may need a MAP sensor wired in..

Let us know why bare minimum and we can work out the rest  :wink:

Well maf sensor and all other sensors will be put on.

Just I basically need to know, what does the AGU ECU need to 'see' before it will run.  So effectively, splicing a clio loom into a 1.8T loom to get them working together.

Hope that makes sense.

Got a AGU engine loom.

I have a feeling most the wires that are actually needed go throuhg the 3 plugs under the wiper motors.

They dont do a setup fo rthe clio, they  do it fo the AGU engine with golf mk1/2/3 setups but at the end of the day its only an MBE ecu so you can get it to work with the Clio rev counter and ignition ect, just will a little extra effort and a few chopped wires.  Plus I have the CANbus MBE mapping leads and sw with around 10 mapswhich I have made over the last 18month. :wink:
