OK....at the behest of others interested....here is the part number of the Ford inductive pickup I used for my tacho conversion........................... XR3Z-7H103AB ....retails for $23.90 stateside....as far as I know this pickup can be found on all 99' and newer T5's, T45's, and 3650 manual transmissions used in Ford Mustangs....have fun!!

I have tryed it twice already.I have imported the sensor from USA.I have equiped the crank pulley with 2 nuts (180* apart) I have made the bracket for the sensor.One wire to the Ground, another to the tacho (red/black wire - terminal 1) and it does not work.Multimeter detects 0,8Volts when on the "AC Volts" setting. CE1 tachometer rev counter - frozen I have tested it the 1st time on my 1.9D. It didn't work and I simply bought the diesel tachometer (it is the easiest way in Euope I gues).Lately I have SWAPed the 3.6 FSI into my friends MK2 Golf and the last thing of the puzzle is to make the CE1 rev counter work. So I have tryed the Ford Sendor Idea again and no luck so far. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas? Or maybe the techometer is differend The alternator on the 3.6FSI has the W terminal so probably I will buy the Universal Diesel Alternator Tachometer Interface From Dakota Digital to make the rev counter work.

Ground for the pickup, the + from the pickup to the tach, ground for the tach AND +12V to the tach. Do you have the +12V, ground and the signal from the pickup all connected to the tach?
