I dont think the diesels ever came with one.

I thought the MK1 turbo diesel had a tach?
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

I've parted out a few MK1 TD's, all had clocks..  Maybe non U.S. cars got them..  The most common option is to convert a MK1 gasser tach..
