hectori, the Tach's are the same as the merkur's here in the US.
That is a common failure, they have to be resoldered like you said.
Check all the contacts.

i have tryied to resolder the connections, but it didn`t work. i must now take components off the circuit board, and test them if they are broken.

and XR4ti merkur tachometer have red area on 6-7000 rpm, and 3dr cossie dont have red area at all. otherwise its the same
