Thread: Fuel economy readout?

I don't think it will work on the Td5.

The Td5 wasn't sold into the US market so didn't need to support OBD and the EU OBD-II regs didn't mandate support for diesels until 2004.

I owned a KiwiWifi interface for a short time but the Td5 only supplies minimal data via OBD-11. RPM, Road Speed, Temp, throttle position, calculated load, and battery voltage at the obd-2 port from memory. Reading the KiwiMPG manual it looks like it needs access to either MAF or MAP data via obd-2 to calculate MPG. The Td5 doesn't supply this.

I have asked a similar question in the past the TD5 ECU theoreticaly has the functionality

TD5 ECU Fuel Used Function

Would be good to find out how to interpret the data

Just because something is posted in a comment on the back box solutions site doesn't mean it exists in practice, and it definitely doesn't mean it is available via OBD2.
