hi Jay

Yes its possible through the OBD port behind the ashtray. but havent seen it done before on a 6n2. remember these being fitted in smart cars though

Heres a scanguage that i fitted to my polo after a little fabrication work:

The only problem i had with the guage is that it didnt seem to work on the petrol setting but works ok when set to diesel ???

Ah sweet, did all the features work on it Neil?

Yes, it works pretty well, i have set mine up to read average MPG which is coming up at about 37-40mpg, speed (whilst my speedo was bust), brake horse power and revs.

I will be changing them when i get the car back from having the gearbox rebuilt to read other things.

It can measure BHP?

Its one of the x-gauge features, you just programme it in which is really easy to do (instructions are provided)

Look on youtube for x-guage bhp or scangauge bhp

Im gonna see if i can get a set of clocks out of an early 9n2 polo, as this was when it was still a K-Line management system, and see if i can take the MFD out of the clocks and put it somewhere in my dash
