Technical tach installing

[breco]

I want to install a tach on my Tipo 1.4 i.e but I don't know where can I get the signal for it. Does anybody know how can I do it?
Thank you.

The signal cable should be connected to the coil wire...tacho needs an inductive signal!

It depends on what modal you have. On pre 94 modals you simply just need to conect a wire to the brown LT wire closest to the grille on the coil. On later modals theres a conector at the back of the engine compartment behind a black plastic cover which covers the manifold heater relays and fuses. The conector has three wires coming in (blue, blue/white and brown/white) and two going out (blue, blue/white) The third wire (brown/white) is you thachometer wire.

This is all from memory but i used to work for FIAT and i have converted many standard dashboards to digital ones.

Good luck! E mail me at [email protected] if you have any trouble.

well i was redirected here to post my problem))so i have problem with my tachometer...i`m driving tipo 1,9TDI and the instroment panel is all digital everything works fine but the tacho just don`t work...actually i haven`t seen it working since i bought the car it wasn`t working then too.So my question is from where this tacho takes impulse to work i found that the speedometer takes from the gear box but i just can`t find the tacho...friends told me that it takes signal from the alternatore or whatever it is called in english)but i could not find the wires actually i saw two wires one for battery and the other from the battery to the alternatore:bang: )so any one can help me?)

Kiselo you're crazy

Read the 3rd post in this thread, it should contain your answer. I gave you the link so you could read the answer, I never meant to redirect you to ask the same question again.

My bad

Transcendental : you are directing him to an answer relating to a petrol tachometer when he is asking about a DIESEL.

Not exactly relevant?

You should check out the postings on the Tipo pages - much has been said since I tried to contact you via this sight as your phone always went to messages and you never returned my calls!!

So - what is happening.I am fed up with waiting. MIKE
