Hey everyone!!!.My rev counter has recently decided to pack it in.Sometimes when I start my car the rev counter needle will work then it jumps around a bit then stops working.Any info on where to trace it back to the engine or behind the dash would be awesome.It maybe earthing out but i don't know where to start.Cheers everyone!!!!

Sorry to hear this Jay. Although I've not heard of this before - here are my thoughts. As the rev counter is electronic - I guess it's an electrical issue - although it may be a sender unit problem (presuming there is one!) If you follow the instructions 'Dash Removal' and 'white dials' at http://www.club323f.com/ba/tuning/technical.php and get to the backside of the dial surround - you will see that the rear of this unit is in essence a printed circuit board. I guess this will be the first place to look for a bridged connection of sorts. You could also look up the wiring on here: http://www.club323f.com/ba/tuning/wires/wiring.php where the Instrument Cluster would be my first port of call. Hope this helps Rich |

Just to point out the obvious, check the needles arnt pushed down to far and sticking, this happened to my spedo, I just lifted the needles a bit and now its fine. Failing that not a clue! |

That's a bloomin good theory! Nice one - you can look into both whilst your dash is out! |
