Dashboard PCB Replacement (CJH Design)

[The Hairy Camper]

Some good news today, I managed to source a Diesel tachometer from a Jetta. Had some time to fiddle and test it with the latest PCB prototype this week and although it's not a perfect fit, it works!

I may have a go at swapping over the PCB from the Jetta tachometer into the T3 tachometer I have. If it works I should have a functioning factory tachometer on my T3.

hence no temp gauge
Still looks like a good option for the fix

Temp and fuel gauge are there (and functioning!), but are not much good as they are hidden behind the Jetta RPM plate

A win is a win though!

I made some more progress this week. The factory petrol tachometer has now been converted to work with my diesel van. The red line is different, but the revs seem to match my aftermarket tach very closely.





Also, I felt bad about taking apart my Jetta tachometer, so I decided to try out these tachometer PCB's I had made. Turns out they work! I've also figured out how to bench test them with a signal generator now too, which makes calibrating them much easier.





I still have some more ideas/changes I would like to make, but I'm pretty happy with the progress.
