A forum member sent me this MK2 gasser tach for conversion to a W terminal diesel tach. Here's a video of it being calibrated in the engine bay of my EcoDiesel.
Send me your MK1 or MK 2 gasser tach and I will convert it, send you a video of it in operation before sending it back to you via USPS with delivery confirmation. Please PM me for details and price.

Hey how much if you just send me a tach already working?

That would depend on how much I purchased the gasser tach for, which I do not have any at the moment. I would be happy to convert yours if you send it to me.

nope

Gasser tachs I would assume does not have a W terminal. If that's the case, you can go inside the alternator and solder a wire onto the unrectified side of one of the diodes to bring out the W terminal. I have done that to two alternators now and I can say it works.

That's great! Sounds like it was an easy install! You're my first customer to send me a tach for conversion (1st post this thread). Thanks!

I finally got to install mine and it was super easy and worked perfectly just as promised and advertised. I spoke with the seller and he was really helpful in describing how to install and adjust it. He even offered his number if I needed help while doing the install. Can't recommend him enough.
If you don't have a tach, this seems like the easiest and cheapest way in the world to get one. It's been really nice to know that I'm keeping my rpm's where they should be. I compared my driving by ear to the tach, and I'm pretty accurate, but 60 bucks is a small price to pay for peace of mind.
Thanks again!

Are you just able to do the mk1 and 2's? I have a b5 that I've converted to diesel which is using "W" terminal alternator.

Do you have the p/n and a pic of the cluster?
