I wanted to do the resistor conversion for my tach.

What is a poor cheap person like myself to do?

I NEED HELP!!!
I got a new tach board to match the correct one above.
I followed the instructions at:
http://www.vwrx.com/index.php?pg=tach
I can not get the tach to work using the function generator to calibrate.
I am lost. I have spent too much time on this.
WHO FIXES THESE TACHS???????

Did you get it to work?
Try to find one from an VW Mk2 golf or Jetta.
Junkyard will be the best place. I put a VW Mk2
Tach and it works.
Good luck. |

NO. No workie.
I started with a 7K Mk2 tach........
My application is a 93 EJ22.
Using signal right from the ECU.
No diode mod.
I also tried the original one that the van was born with. No joy as to be expected for a 1990 tach.
The signal from the ECU is verified and there at the right pin.
I just want my dash back in........

Why all the fuss and bother about a 7K tach? When my conversion was newly completed and I was still taking on rumpety-rumpety Monte Carlos at the lights, I spun it up to 6500RPM all the time with the stock tach. The rev limiter kicks in at 6750 or so anyway...

The fuss is about NOT having a tach that works at all!
While at it, I decided I want the 7K as it matches the Subaru better for me.
I have had the above depicted tach staring me in the face a LONG time now.
I have working one coming now.
I have had not tach for years and it is about time to tie up lose ends.......

Bought one of these from Mick works great. I'm using the stock tach gauge on my 87 w/ a 93 ej22.
