pva glue.

It still could be instrumental. Get it checked out and stop being a tight ass LOL. No honestly the readings are taken off the coil. Could be faulty wiring or connections or the tacho itself. get it check out by a mechanic or auto electrician.

good luck friend. :P

:( I had a similar problem and got auto repair after repair to hunt down the wiring, checked all the engine managment and sensor and was fine. Adventually I got of my ASS and replaced the Tacho all fixed, mind you the Tacho wasn't cheap!

Where is Tacometer sensor is located?

I think mine is bit out of scale...:D

cheers

There isn't a 'Tacometer[sic] sensor' as such, the ECU gets the angle of rotation of the camshaft from the CAS (Cam Angle Sensor), from this it can calculate the speed of rotation of the crankshaft, and using this generates a negative pulse for every rotation of the crank.

This pulse is the signal on pin 7 of the ecu, and that is what the rev counter uses.

Sounds to me like a problem with the rev counter instrument itself or the wiring between the ecu and instrument cluster, as there is very little that could go wrong with the ECU.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
