Sticky Rev Counter 1992 MK 2 8V GTI
« on: 20 May 2014, 12:20 »
Hi all
Am new to this forum ... :smiley:

I recently bought a 1992 mk 2 golf gti 8v...it sweet i love it, but today i jumped in and the rev counter only went to 2krpm and stayed there for a bit, then dropped to 1.5krpm at idle, but the car is idling fine. When i tap the top of the dash the needle drops!

I drove it a bit (all fine). I noticed it dropped back down, albeit in a jerky fashion. When i turned it off the needle is stuck just above the needle post thing.   

Any ideas ?

fuses?

connections ?

lube the needle ?
cheers
