PieEater3142 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi Guys, Sorry another electric question. What is the point of the Voltage transformer in the 200tdi? It's the crazy Lucas black box. It seems to just be for the illumination lights for the dash, is this right? I can't see this device in the td5/300tdi wiring diagrams? Does this mean there no change in voltage? If I fit a td5 instrument warning panel and clocks do I still need this? Cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, James That sounds like the Dim-Dip Transformer, which was used to illuminate the dipped beam at low power when sidelights only were selected and the engine was running. This 'feature' was done using the Transformer on vehicles up to about 200Tdi and from about 300Tdi onwards it was done with a (Pink) Relay and a large Resistor under the driver's wing. It's no longer a legal requirement and can be quite safely omitted from your rewiring project. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
