why has my rev counter stopped working?any help please

 

most probably the speedo cable

 

wtf? lol

Rev counter does not work off the speedo cable, i think it works off the negative pulsed wire to the coil (at least thats where my AVC-R takes it's feed from).

 

Oh shit, sorry re read the post thought you was talking about the speedo
My apologies pls ignore above post by me.

 

iwill have to check that when the rain stops

 

lol

Ok as blunt as it sounds, the problem is that you have a Mk4 and the instruments used in them are just cheap and tacky rubbish. Of the ones i've seen that work they dont operate smoothly and dont read accurately. I had one car that the rev counter wouldnt work for the first 30 minutes and then miraculously sprang into life and would only stop working again when the car was left for several hours, and another one i had the rev counter used to lie and read falsely for the first 5-10 mins of being on!!!

 

yep. it dont work cos its a ford. no help i know.
