Hi all,
I’m having a bit of a nightmare getting my Tacho / rev counter working on my ‘93 mk1 1.8 and wondered if there might be someone in the nearby area who has a spare mk1 or mk2 instrument cluster (with a known to be working rev counter) that I can quickly borrow so I can try to isolate my problem.
Initially thinking a simple swap would resolve my problem I bought a couple of used clusters from fleabay (obvs no joy there) and I’m now wondering if maybe some settings are incorrect in my ME221… being totally honest with you, this problem has been ongoing for a while and I’ve slept several times between attempts to resolve it. I confirmed I’m getting a signal to the cluster tho I don’t know how many ‘toggles per rev’ spits out the correct signal pulse. And at the same time I can’t rule out the used cluster I’ve bought might also be duff.
Hence, quick check with a known good rev counter means any problem would be in ME221 settings and easily resolved.
My instrument cluster is already removed so I can plug up the loaner, run the engine up, fiddle with any settings, confirm all is well and unplug in about 10-15mins max.
I also make a great cup of tea (or fresh coffee), and also offer some sticky buns or cake while I quickly do my test
I’m located in Rugby.
Please DM me if you are able to help so we can make arrangements.
All help gratefully received
