Can anybody help?

I recently purchased, from Dragon performance, a PD 1.9 plug in Digibox to improve the performance and economy on my 2007 Fabia vrs. Unfortunately my better half has misplaced the fitting instructions. Does anybody have any information or a step by step guide that would help me?

# .

# Only attempt fitting in good light, outside on a bright day is fine, a bright garage is OK but do not attempt this in dim light with a torch.

# .

# Tools – Medium length Cross Head Screwdriver, 5/7inch Curved Jaw Mole Grips (not parallel jaws type), 10mm Spanner

# .

# It is essential to Remove the Airfilter Box – Held on by Cross Head Screws.

# .

# Remove the sensor plug from the air filter housing and place out of the way.

# .

# Loosen all the retaining screws and free the box BUT do not try to remove it yet as you will need to release the Spring Clip holding the rubber air duct to the rear of the filter housing. Use the Mole Grips for this but do NOT let the spring go – slide it off the rubber duct and clip it onto the air filter housing rear pipe for safe keeping.

# .

# If you leave the clip on the rubber pipe it WILL spring off as the pipe deforms under its pressure and sods law says it will disappear down the back of the engine (luckily mine sprang out of the engine bay)

# .

# Lay the Air box over the battery cover so you do not need to remove the vacuum pipe.

# .

# Now you have clear access to the large round connector on the side of the engine.

# .

# Slide the Red locking tab to the right, it does not come right off

# .

# Rotate the connector anticlockwise to release it from the engine block. This may only be about 90 degrees BUT the block mounted socket may rotate in the block itself in which case you may need to rotate the connector about 180 degrees. NOTE that the round outer ring rotates around the central body of the connector and simply acts as a cam driven retainer - the centre connector does not rotate.

# .

# Once the connector is removed carefully examine the Dragon connector and the Block mounted socket.

# .

# The key to a straightforward connection is to note the V shaped locator on both plug and socket. These have to be aligned to connect the Dragon connector to the socket.

# .

# Offer up the Dragon connector to the socket and rotate the outer retaining ring until the 3 cams align with the camways on the socket and gently push the outer ring into the socket and rotate clockwise about 90 degrees to lock the two together. NOTE, if the two do not mate cleanly them you have not got the plug and socket keyways correctly aligned.

# .

# Now connect the original plug to the Dragon socket following the same alignment guidelines as above.

# .

# Connect the Digibox to the Dragon Harness.

# .

# Route the Cables so that the DigiBox is placed in the front of the battery box.

# .

# Connect the power supply leads directly to the battery – using the 10mm spanner to loosen the battery bolts – the connectors just slide under the bolts, and tighten.

# .

# Replace the filter housing – possibly fitting a 'sports' panel filter' as per explanation below. Be sure to reconnect the air duct to the housing before finally seating the filter housing.

# .

# Replace sensor plug

# .

# Double check everything is connected and that all tools have been removed from the engine bay.

# .

# Start the car, check it runs OK and go for a short test drive.

Hi, The above instructions look like they were pasted from the post below on installing a Dragon on a PD140 - 2ltr - not sure the 1.9lt box is fitted in the same way, I think the connectors may be different.

140pd connector is a large round one on the side of LHS of the engine you may have a rectangular connector on the 105/130pd.

This URL gives the full instructions I posted

Yeah the above instructions are incorrect for a pd130, but certainly not far out. Basically its the same, but you don't have to remove the air box.

So

~1 pull off engine cover

~2 follow steps 8 - 17 of above

~3 put engine cover back on

Best to do it with a warm engine, that way the oils already warm for the testing time.

If its a newest style box i.e. the ones for currently for sale on dragons website you'll have to let it idle for 30 secs - 1 minute for it to 'calibrate'.

Thanks everybody, Sounds pretty simple really. Anybody encountered any problems when fitting or running with Dragon performance parts?
