Tachometer on an xud

Post by FarmerPug »

On older cars like the 305 what's the best place to rig up the tachometer to a Diesel engine my petrol gauge cluster has a tachometer but no diesel 305 seemed to come with one fitted can a petrol tach that works with the coil be set to work with the alternator

I don't believe so, Frank. I think they use the pin lift sensor on one of the injectors.

Your best bet may be grabbing the necessary from an XUD+tacho equipped 405/205/309
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
