marf497 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Hi guys wondering if anyone can help me with this small problem. My rev counter at idle reads about 500rpm but the car is definetley idling a lot highter (sounds normal) when I drive my rev counter always reads lower than they should be this has been like this since I got my car about a year ago. Any ideas would be apreciated I don't know if the clocks are out of a different corrado or even if that would cause the rev counter to always read low.

Supercharged 2 Posted January 3, 2009 What does the speedo and rev counter read up to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waynos 0 Posted January 3, 2009 sounds like sombody has had your clocks apart at one point. If you strip them apart you can take the needle off and put it back on in a higher position. On the g60s i know there is a way of getting the revs to read on digital clock so you may be able to do the same on your and adjust it accordingly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted January 3, 2009 You've got VR clocks for some reason dude - Valvers should read up to 8k rpm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junkie 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Is that all valvers, i was looking to change to the 8k cluster but thought it was on the early set up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted January 4, 2009 You've got VR clocks for some reason dude - Valvers should read up to 8k rpm And that explains the low rpm as it's looking for 6 impulses rather than 4.... so will be 2/3's of actual revs... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
