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

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!
