Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / September 2008A1 Tach question 1984 GTi Rabbit
Hi I have a 1984 GTI Rabbit. For the past few months sometimes when I start the car, the runs poor and the tach does not work, it stays at 0 rpm. Usually after about a minute the tach starts working and at the same time the car runs fine. Yesterday the car wouldn't start, I noticed while cranking the started that the tach did not move during cranking? Should the tach move via cranking? I need to investigate but I have a feeling in might be a intermittent contact, I need to look at the schematic but I recall that there are 1 or 2 relays that deal with the tach and the cis system. Perhaps a relay is going bad? Sounds more like an issue at the coil. Craig > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > 2 relays that deal with the tach and the cis system.

I used TarnX followed by a distilled water rinse, then blown dry with an air hose and then a bit of grease to reduce the chances on corrosion happening again. >Hi > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >relays that deal with the tach and the cis system.
