Magneti Marelli Ign Amp

[Kennyb 0]

Hi guys....i've landed an MTR01 Magnetti Ign Amp..........Its 7 pins but the plug on my 1.9 Gti Is only six with a blank seventh

 

Will I be able to use it? It fits and everything but unsure about the seventh pin....... The amp I Have on at the mo is MTR01 Also

 

Cheers Guys

I'd have thought so. If you look at my thread you will see I've had Ign. Amp issues today also Bloody things!

 

Anywho, the buggered Lucas Amp that came off was a 7 pin one, and the plug which went on had a spare terminal space. I would imagine you just rewire the same as before if that makes sense.

Will do no matter if it's 6 or 7pin amp as long as it's MTR 01 ... only difference between the two is additional pin No.7 which is "tacho out" signal , and it's unused on the Jetronic/Motronic management (if you look at the amp connector you'll see that the terminal for this pin No.7 is blank ..)

 

Just don't forget to put heat sink paste/jelly at the back of the amp prior to refitting ..

a ha.......I stumbled across it at this place..js rallying....they had just put it on ebay so I whipped it up pronto.....all installed and working fine.....cant say I can tell a difference in terms of performance but is smoother through the rev range.....but then again my other amp was foobarred :-(

 

maybe they could shed some light on sourcing one ;-)
