Title: REV it up... or not
Post by: kraM on 11 November 2005, 11:32

Hi

MK1 GTi 1600 non MFA Rev counter over reading? :embarassed:  Ever heard of that fault?  I hadn't, but doing my emmisions the other day and the machine disagreed with my rev counter, so I checked it against my multimeter and the rev counter is wrong, (probably explains why the 'limter dosn't kick in till a full tank :wink: )

Any sugestions what could be wrong with it?  Am going to Slough swap meet, so may try to get another unit.

Any ideas would be muchly appricated ta :smiley: :grin:

Cheers

Not heard of that, but I think it would be worth checking the wiring to the coil and you're earths.
Are your temperature gauge and fuel gauge reading ok?

All other gauges working fine.  I think I it may something to do with me pulling the needle of the clock :embarassed:.  Not sure If I did on this clock or not, but I have pulled one of these units apart before.  DOH!
Anyone got one for sale?  (Not MFA)
Cheers
