Calibra BC- Doesn't fully work

by Chipa » Mon Jun 14, 2010 12:41 pm

I've installed BC in my car ( there was a watch before ) but it doesn't fully work as expected. see video below. The LED doesn't work either (it's operative though).

please help


See the video

the range function will not work with the LCD dash fitted ...that is why you have a "F" displayed for fault

The fuel comp has different chips for different engines.

on the back of the comp you'll see a white/yellow plastic chip that has to match the engine in your car or it has to be reprogrammed with a tech 1

Fraz,

How do I find out whether bc chip code matches my engine or not?

My engine is C20ne. So, my engine should communicate with BC just fine?

Any ideas what to do next?

but dont the Calibra C20NE use Motronic M1.5???? But I do not know what your trying to fix ....everything seems to work as it should apart from the range function ....and that will not work with the LCD dash fitted, well we cant get it to work over here anyway


oh and looks like your dash needs new blubs

should be bright like mine is
