Wobbly rev counter

(1/2) > >>

Tyke:
Guys,

The rev counter has started throwing a wobbly. Sometimes it doesn't work at all then others it dances around between 0-3k and sometimes it seems to work perfectly.

Been like this a couple of weeks now. The motor is run daily both on and off road.

I undertand it senses the alternator output and suspect a dodgy connection to the rev counter but I cant identify what i need to clean up.

Anyone suggest which wire/s I'm looking for - its a 300TDi ?

Budgie:
IIRC it's the white/black single wire going onto a spade terminal at the back of the alternator.
I just removed the original connector and replaced it with a new one, after trying to clean it up several time only for it to start again a couple of months later.  Not had any problems in the last 4 years.  :wink:

BigA:
the new disco is doing the same thing, so cheers Budgie i will give that a look too.
