Hello - my dash currently has just a temp and fuel guage in the right hand side of the pod. It's a 1985 1.6TD. I've got my hands on a 2nd had pod where the blue pcb thingy is a bit knackered but it has the rev counter which I want to add to my dash.

My question is, will all the wiring be in place to just swap the guages or will I need to add any wiring from the engine?

thanks

Hello,

it should be fine - there's a green wire that comes in from the W pin of the alternator which should already control your BOD circuitry. From memory it goes to pin 9 on the 14 pin multiconnector.

As far as I know the PCB you have should already have a terminal ready to connect to the rev counter, which is blanked off on the clock version.

Thanks, just thought i would ask before i started taking things apart.

wiring will be in the van

but you will need a rev couter specific pcb

or you will need to make a few of your own connections!

for rev counter feed- 3 wires and petrol/temp gauge are in a different place

So it is possible to make the conections with out the rev counter pcb. can anyone be a bit more specific

You forgot the magic word

OK. Please, if thats it, Ive had a rev counter recalibrated to go with my Subaru H6 but have no PC board is it possible to wire it with out it
Thanks

yes but if you have to ask maybee its a little more than you can do?

anything is possible just depends on your skill/ equipment and knowledge

Thanks Billy, I'll suss it me self

Ur very unhelpful. Don't know why I asked
