fox3 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) http://www.scangauge.com/ Just make sure it'll work on a pre 2000 car first though! I tried mine in my van, and it didnt work, "funnily enough!" * Edit, (Taken from the site) Works On 1996 or Newer Vehicles Edited August 14, 2007 by fox3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Standard dials on the late MK6 show most of that, speed, revs, fault codes etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Or try and acquire a Trip Computer from either a Mk 1 or MK 2 Mondeo ( Mk1 would be better as its rectangle and would sit in the cassette aperture) This is a MK 2 Mondeo fuel computer. Ebay is your best bet, but beware these aren't plug and play. Some minor wiring will be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
