Post by: scopefrfd on June 23, 2007, 07:02:56 pm: Years ago...many years ago early 90's. When I did my Callaway turbodiesel. I went to the dealer and inquired about a USA Westmoreland rabbit diesel tach. At the time vw still had a part # for it but it was over $200 just for the tach. Which I thought at the time was a little excessive..since I bought the truck for $300. I decided against ordering one.

Til this day I have never seen a rabbit turbo diesel tach in person. I'd love to have one...but you're better off using a rabbit gti gas tach and a Dakota tach converter. One it's cheaper, two if you ever go to a serp belt setup you can dial it in as the drive/pulley ratios are different over the old v-belt setups...this will allow you to dial it in to the right ratio.

Post by: RabbitJockey on June 23, 2007, 07:52:36 pm: the tachs i've made were adjustable too. i'm surprised they actually made them, and that more people did't buy them.

Post by: RabbitJockey on June 23, 2007, 07:57:03 pm: the tach that theres pictures of really is a strange piece, has an extra board there on top of the back of the upshift light, i wouldn't mind getting my hands on it and tearing it apart haha, but then i'd feel bad since it looks to be an og piece.

Post by: scopefrfd on June 24, 2007, 07:46:25 am: I think the tachs were rare because they were a very expensive option. Think about, how many usa made non-gti's came with tachs. I've only seen a couple that came with the 1.7L engine and a tach. add the fact that the people buying diesels were all about saving money and it's easy to understand.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Diesels weren't purchased to race around in, but slow economical dailys

Post by: scopefrfd on June 26, 2007, 02:45:19 pm: I have seen the pic of the tach....I do know it does exist...but as I stated prior I have yet to see one installed in a rabbit from the factory.
