Today was a nice day here in NY. I just fitted my new bilsteins and went out for a little spin. Handles much better, the KONIs where shot.

However, as I was driving my tach went out, it was always a little bouncy. I remeber from my beetle days that when the speedo got bouncy it was time to either change the drive cable or check the drive gear. I assume that the tach is not mechanical but, is there a way to repair/diagnose the problem with the tach?

Thanks,
Dan

Check your connections in back of the gauge.....if you have a buddy, swap in another one to see if that's it....

That's what I usually do....been lucky, it's either been a loose wire in back or the replacement works.
