corrado td tach
« on: November 20, 2009, 06:26:49 am »
Anybody know if the tachometer in my 1990 corrado is compatible with the W plug routine?  Any advice is appreciated.

It won't work but you could source a B3 TD gauge cluster. They pretty much are the same plus you'd get a glow plug light.

I've got a Corrado TD, using a 94 Jetta TD cluster.

There's a plug off of the diesel alternator with a red wire coming out of it. I ran that red wire and spliced it into U1/06 between the fuse box and the cluster.

enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..  ;D

Thanks a lot, guys.  I think I'll try the dakota digital interface, since I'd like to keep the cluster.   8)
