    Installing trip-computer in a TDI

    I was wondering if it is possible to install a trip/consumption-computer in a 80 Avant TDI without any problems?
    I did this job on my `89 Coupe 20VQ and then I just had to find and connect a yellow plug near the pedals to make the unit show fuel-consumption.
    When i looked for it in mye `93 TDI I did`nt fint it??
    Where do I find the consumption-signal in this car?

    As far as i Know for TDI engines pre 08.93 you don't have a signal for fuel consumption. It was a topic on a german forum about this thing. Try to find it.

      as above, you can't do it unfortunately unless you upgrade all the wiring and mess around with it from a newer car.

        you need the newer version with MAF, model year 94, then it´s possible to install the trip computer, and even a cruise control

            Does any of the other functions one the computer work without the fuelconsuption?
            As the "how-long-to-next-fueling" and the messauring of the avrage-speed?
