Post by **Sven** » 29 Nov 2005, 14:26

I bought a T25 tacho at VF and now want to fit it.
Then i remembered that there are different ones, how will i know if its the right one for my petrol van.????
And then i'll need the gubbins to make it fit.
Any ideas people?

The standard tachos are straight forward to fit, red wire positive, black wire negative, green wire is to the negative side of the coil and the white wire is illumination, rig it up in your engine bay and touch the green wire to the green or negative side of the coil, it will read off, if it is a multi tacho then you will need to set it to 4 cylinders or standard wave form, hope you are well.

Diesel engines usually rev alot slower therefore the petrol one will probably go up to 6000 revs. Athough I have not seen one a diesel one may go up to 4500?

Just seen the part no. 88471309 aany ideas?
Its red line is 5250-6000.
I suppose for it to fit i'll need the right PCB as the current one on the van is totally different with it having the speedo and seperate clock set up.
