Thread: New D2 TD5 Member to go with TDi300

I assume looking at this that it is a Double Din head unit and hence a double din replacement or single din and uhf fits in the space? Is there something special re the Harmon Kardon speakers and installation of alternative products?

Dont mind the cassette and stacker by the way but if there is a way of Bluetooth would love to find out

Naa, they're a 1.5 DIN, single DIN slot with a 1.5 face. Slide it out and a single DIN head slips straight in.

And most D2's came with 7x16's, some 8x18's and I'm not sure re the 8x16's?

If the odometer is flashing the gauges have been changed. Fake kilometerage?

Apparently some came with 8x16 , but I have not been able to verify. 38A rims are 8x16 and restrict tyre choice a bit . I have 255.70x16 BGFKO on 8x16 but they are a bit bigger. Most are 7x16.
Aircon maybe needs regas.
Refitting air could be expensive.

With these things, you need a Nanocom(or similar).
Alternative is that you lose all your hair as you pull it out trying to figure stuff out the old way!

Other possibility of the flashing odo, is someone installed another BCU, and it has different mileage reading to speedo.
Doing so they may have also not activated the SLS, hence why not working?

Even tho it has an OBD port, OBD devices don't work. Can't remember the name of the other brand of diagnostic gear(Hawkeye maybe).

Nice cars, nice motors .. I reckon I'll end up with one some day soon as well.

You do need a Nanocom to have a look at it. There's one in Williamstown pm me if required.

So much information in so little time!

Bet the left one the seller is not a person who dabbles in the dark side of selling or such activities, could a battery being 'run down' for a six + months (he mentioned he only started the car every so often and the car had been off the road for more than six months with a occasional foray into the paddocks with the grandkids) cause a disconnect between the two?

Due to the inactivity hoping a regas will fix, the clutch was definitely connecting and there were no untoward sounds coming out of the compressor, this is a $100 and not a roadworthy item, but certainly a comfort requirement.

The 255 70 15 is a 30" tyre? Does this correct the speedo to correct speed?

It is difficult to find REAL original specifications for Aus delivered vehicles, would appear for both D1 and D2, thinking i once had brochures along with hundreds of others that have gone by the wayside over the years,

Dunno about the connection between run down battery and AC clutch and speedo flashing.
But, we found with brothers, if the battery isn't in top shape, it can be hard to start and/or it may jump into immobilised mode!
Fun times with that.
You need either the EKA code to un-immobilise it(good luck with that!) or better yet .. get a nancom, and disable the immobiliser(it's a 20 year old car now, and diesel and joy riders don't care for them).
With the nanocom you can find out it's EKA code(probably some tedious value too!) .. and change it to a more sensible combo to remember.

I'm also thinking with the AC clicking in/out problem. Could it also be the condenser fan.
AC needs the condenser fan to operate for the AC to operate too. if fan is dead, AC shouldn't come on. Check fan fuses and relay.
In the engine bay fuse box, check fuse F5(40A) and relay R4.
