VDO rev counter delay
Hi guys,
Any idea why my VDO rev counter has a slight delay?
seems fairly accurate however quickly depressing the accelerator hardly yields any movement on the tacho as it seems a bit slow to respond?
I think I have it connected correctly, signal from the -ve on the coil. They say you can connect the signal to the alternator to a 'W'
terminal? how do I know if I have this? my alternator has 3 spade connectors.
The guys we bought the rev counter also gave us a diode to put inline of the signal wire, did not make much difference, only got the needle to be
slightly more stable.
thanks

You say you have 3 spade terminals so assuming you are using an 80mm
VDO ETB Linky
I am using the VDO on a v8 and not noticing any problems.

yes thats the one. If you tap off do the revs drop quickly? mine seems to take its time.
I know these are adjustable for 4,6 and 8 cylinders, perhaps it is setup incorrect? the guy did tell me he set it up for me when I bought it?
