FD DBW module wiring loom

[mjheathcote]

Having recently bought a second hand FD DBW module from a forum member, I need a wiring loom.
Unfortunately Performance Italia don't have one, and Formula Dynamics have changed their policy and will no longer just supply the wiring loom alone.
I therefore have little choice but to send the unit back to the States for a 'service' in order to get the loom.
I have no real problem with this, but £75 for the loom alone was better than $250 plus shipping both ways when the module is already configured as I require and for the same model 4200. I know then it will then be warranted, but can't really think what can go wrong with it.

So before I send it 'back home', does anyone by chance have a spare wiring loom? Slim chance, I know!

If no luck, those with the module, are you happy with 'aggressive' and 'very aggressive', which appears to be the default configuration?
Is there a notable difference between these two configurations?

Cheers,
Mike

I would stick with the aggressive and very aggressive settings but leave it in aggressive as I was getting some clutch smell with the very aggressive section.

You could make the loom yourself, you just need to find the connectors, but I am sure RS will have them.

If you need the wiring diagram, just PM me and keep us up to speed with the progress as I dont think its on for Formula Dynamics to not sell you the wiring.

Thanks Matt, I won't be doing anything for a couple of weeks.
Currently in Bordeaux on family holiday, and have free wifi while staying with the wife's sister for a few days and picked up's Noors email advising FD won't supply him the loom alone anymore.
I guess the supply of new modules will have tailed off, and the requirement of looms alone has risen, as initial owners have sold their cars and moved on, removing their modules.
Cheers,

Worth a shot!

Actually i know someone that should have one , who lives not too far from me , he purchased Masersods old Rame ghibli gransport , pat had his DBW taken off the car before he sold it , i bought the DBW and a new loom from Noor , and then re-sold the whole thing back to Pat when he got his new Gransport , now the old loom should be sitting still in the car somewhere , worth a pm at the very least

I always drive mine in the latter mode, I find the former a bit too wussy. If I had my time again, I would probably have a 'bypass' and 'v aggressive' pair of settings.

I drive mine like I stole it. I asked for v. aggressive and whilst much, much better than standard sport, the changes could still do with bring faster. I guess it's just me.

By me, there is not much difference between agressive and very agressive mode...

Do you find significal difference?
