Default Dash help

Does anyone know the colour of the wires used for the speedo and tacho for a 2000 facelift. Need to wire in this Defi VSD I just brought

Thanks in advance.

The speedo feed is on plug B, pin 8 (White)

Tacho is on plug A, pin 12 (Brown)

Though not sure if the diagrams I've got are accurate colour wise, if they don't match up, let me know as I have a few different sets of diagrams - this was the first one that came to hand

Cheers for that Cornelius, I was going to connect it to the rear of the dash unit if possible, but none of those colours match with what's on the plug that feeds the tacho.

At the moment....I don't have any of the film

Default Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Now I know why these turn up for sale, never been fitted!

Cornelius help!!!!!

I have gone to the ecu...looked high and low for wiring that matches mine without success.

I have a AE800 ECU with three plugs. Blue, Black and Gray.

Any help please...it looks nice lit up, but is depressing showing 0mph all the time.

Nope

No worries mate, two evenings in the cold rain has seen common sense kick in....

Gonna take it out and shove it back in it's box...I know when I'm beat....

Update:Finally got it working!

Seems the 2000 model had it's own magical ECU wiring.

Cornelius if you want a full pinout diagram for the 2000 gimme a shout.
