westy 0 Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) Hi, On my 90 (H) plate 1.6 GTi the rev counter is 'behind' so to speak - as at idle, it sits at 0rpm, and hits the rev limiter at a bang on indicated 6000 rpm. Any particular reason for this? Or is it just a case of repositioning the needle? I'm not sure about the speedo either! Thanks Edited May 20, 2006 by westy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted May 20, 2006 Has your car got a white dials kit or similar fitted? Sounds like its been repositioned wrong so it should be a simple job of moving the needle so it reads correctly. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham. nope, its coompletely standard inside - are there markings on the dials as to where the rev counter needle should be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C_W 3 1 Cars Posted May 21, 2006 They are usually very tight on the spindle so its unusual for them to slip back so it sounds like its been of for some reason (hasit always been like this?) I've reposition one before when I fitted a white dial kit but had another set to use as a reference to see where the needed settled with the engine off and made sure it sat at around 850rpm at idle (on Mi16).
