mpg guage with m30 conversion.

since the conversion my mpg gauge has not worked. does anyone know how i can get it working with the m30 conversion?

Pin 8 of the engine loom socket on your car has a white/black wire connected to it, which feeds fuel consumption information to the cluster from the engine ECU.
IIRC, the M30 loom has this wire at a different pin on the engine loom plug, so it needs to be moved.
I'm not 'into' M30s, so I don't have the details, but I'm sure someone will be along with an exact answer soon, or you should be able to find it with the "search" function.

cheers Ziggy,

is that the same for pre-facelift model?

Facelift wiring mods (these apply to those with a facelift shell) - the engine will run without doing them, but for everything to function correctly, the following are needed;

To get the 'economy swingometer thingy' working you need to swap pins in the M30 loom:
Pin 3 (black and white) and pin 8 (black and purple).
