Iveco Daily Auto Agile Semi-Auto Conversion to Manual Gearbox

August 2024 Update – VT is no longer offers this service , due in part to to complexities on later (Euro 5) variants.

So , i no longer offer programming, but here is some info from my notes on how i did it . All credit for the following goes to my friend Greg who worked all of this out.

Do with this info what you please & please do not ask for further info. Any auto electrician will understand these concepts. & this applies to Euro 4 vans, not Euro 5, & was effective up to about 2010, if you dont have this “yellow “small oblong relay box under the bonnet then you have a later model one & this guide does not apply. & this isnt a definitive guide, just notes & info on the most simple way possible to do it, changing the least possible amount of parts.

After fitting your manual gearbox & clutch & manual pedals

1 – Find someone reprogram the BSI ( Body Control Module / Body Systems Interface/ Body ECU ) to Manual gearbox type or get a used BSI from a manual. The used one you buy , if going down that route , must be from a tacho equipped vehicle, if you plan to keep using the tacho, & from a non tacho vehicle if your vehicle has no tacho. Your keys wont work if using a used one, so gets keys reprogrammed by an auto locksmith or get the immo removed from your engine ECU so vehicle will start again then get the remotes reprogrammed .

2 – Put a jumper at position T18 in the small fuse box in engine bay pictured below ( you will see a missing relay in that position, on Agiles, so just bridge it ( thats faking a relay’s “output”circuit to be always on / connected )

3 – Use the Agile speed sensor from your Agile gearbox & put that on your manual box, where this blanking plug is:

3 – The TCU must remain connected (otherwise there will be ABS problems), OR bridge CAN lines at TCU loom connector plug so CAN signal bypasses the TCU & carries on to the ABS unit.

4 -No changes are needed to the engine ECU

I no longer have notes on Euro 5’s, or wiring diagram for the TCU connector, but do recall a few people asking about the pedal switches. Most Daily have switches for brake & clutch pedal position, so maybe you need to consider the requirement for a clutch position switch, & maybe the plugs are already in place ( on Agile dash wiring looms ). best look at a manual gearbox model , for reference, if you get problems. I recall the main engine fuse & relay box need a bridge on Euro 5’s but i dont have the exact info anymore sorry.

The alternative to the above is getting a manual donor vehicle & swapping every everything that differs’ including , all ECU’s & modules, all under bonnet wiring & that which goes to the gearbox ECU ( TCU), & maybe the actual ABS unit as well.
