DrSarty 90 1 Cars Posted March 19, 2007 As title - I have 1990 Citroen BX16v (no-cat) engine running its original AFM. I've discovered erratic fuelling issue and have heard of retracking the AFM. Want to do a quick swap test so either: a} would like to borrow someone's spare for a day or b} would like to buy a replacement and need to know if I MUST get an Mi/BX16v one or is the 1.9GTi AFM the same, as there are a few for sale on the forum. As for the retracking as an alternative - what's involved please? Above request still stands. Regards Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSarty 90 1 Cars Posted March 19, 2007 bugger! Anyone local (to me ) with a spare I can test, and/or advise me on this retrackin' mullarky? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirGTI 327 Posted March 19, 2007 Hi ! I have this link for retracking : http://frwilk.com/944dme/afm.htm , but that link still dosnt work don't know why (if you wish i can scan this document for you from a printed copy) As for replacement item i think that you must buy mi16 or bx16v one (look for number code stampt on black AFM cover) , 1.9 and 1.6 8v engines use different AFM-s ....i have try 1.6 AFM on my 1.9 8v engine - it fits perfectly but car don't work so good with it cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSarty 90 1 Cars Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks Damir - I've driven through Croatia up to Zagreb from the Bos Gradiska border crossing, which is not too far from Cybernck (I think). Yes, the link doesn't work and a scan and e-mail to <rifle556@yahoo.co.uk> would be much appreciated. Thanks for your help. Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugrallye 0 Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) as i said rich, you need to check the serial number stamped on your AFM and go from there, as even 1.9 gti's used two or three different ones, and used to have to be matched. also a hell of a lot of cars from the same generation had gated AFM's and its only a matter of searching for correct number (which is matched to engine ecu) Edited March 20, 2007 by pugrallye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSarty 90 1 Cars Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks John. Got the retracking document from Damir so I'm prep'd. Just wanted to find a quick swap for a test, but I see now the search for an identical test AFM is gonna involve me looking on my AFM for this number and posting again. Don't wanna go under the bonnet again - something else'll break ... Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Higgy 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Hi Rich, A Vauxhall Chav 8V uses the same AFM. And there are quite a few 8V's at scrappys (also uses same ldle control valve). The local scrappy to me (Wantage) has a load of Chav AFM's. Higgy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lee-bg 0 Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) just for info : My Mi16 (148 bhp with cat, DFW) has the same serial number AFM as my 1,9 8v (DKZ engine). So they appear to be absolutely the same. I can check and give you the serial if u like ? sorry , just saw you are DE-Cat version of Mi16...so I assume you can only get AFM from a simillar engine with similar ECU electronics. otherwise it wont be same....i guess.
